June: Winter Power - Peak Swell Direction and Solid Size
June brings the core of the winter season, with average swell height up to 2.5m (8.2ft) and period at 12.8s. The swell direction continues its westward shift: WSW accounts for 16.0%, W now 4.5%, WNW 2.3%, and NW 1.4% - combined optimal directional swell is at its annual peak. SW drops to 27.2% as the storm track moves closer and the angle improves. Wind percentages remain favourable with 43% ideal, though the pattern becomes more mixed than May. E (9.8%), ENE (10.3%), NE (9.0%) still offer offshore options, but NW and W winds (5.5-6.5%) can also bring choppy conditions at times. Water temp falls to 19.6°C, air to 16.8°C, and precipitation jumps to 4.44 mm/day - frequent winter fronts pass through. Expect pumping, powerful surf that is well worth a west-facing wetsuit.
