Conditions at Manly in June
June: The Midwinter Grind
June is the trough of Manly's surf year. Average period is still respectable at 9.6s and heights hold at 5-6ft (1.8m), but ideal offshore wind plummets to 15% - one of the lowest marks of the year. S/SSE/SW swells make their biggest push, with SSW through WSW directions representing a meaningful slice of the wave rose, so the energy is heading in the right direction for a west-facing beach. The problem is the local wind: SSW, WSW, W and NW directions dominate, and the stronger WSW/W flow is directly onshore, shredding the groundswell into lumpy, walled-up lines. Rainfall increases, air temps fall to 15°C and water drops to 19°C. Only when a high-pressure system parks over the Tasman Sea and delivers a rare offshore gradient is Manly worth a serious paddle.
