June: Cold, Clear, and Powerful

June is the beginning of the deep winter season. The average swell holds at 1.5m (4.9ft) with a period of 12.4s, and the distribution of wave directions becomes even more westerly. SW dominates at 35.2%, but WSW is right behind at 18.2%, with W (7.7%), WNW (5.4%), and NW (4.7%) all contributing. This creates a strong westerly tilt, which can produce more refracted swell into the south-facing coastline. Wave heights are consistent, with 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) both well represented; the larger end of the spectrum increases in frequency compared to autumn. Offshore wind remains excellent, with ideal wind at 24%. NNW is the dominant wind by a wide margin at 21.2%, supported by NW (10.2%) and WNW (9.0%). These north quadrant winds create classic offshore conditions - clean, lined-up waves with minimal surface texturing. Water temp drops to 13.6°C, air temp averages 12.3°C, and precipitation is at its highest at 2.46 mm/day, often associated with frontal passages. June is a reliable month for quality surf, and the long periods make even average height waves feel powerful.
