June: Winter Groundswell and Westerly Grit
June delivers the first true winter groundswell of the season. SSE and S swell combine for nearly 37% of the spectrum, and the average period jumps to 9.6s, with plenty of 10s-plus energy in the mix. The average height is 5ft (1.6m), but the S/SSE pulses frequently hold 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) faces. Water temp cools to 21.4°C, and rainfall averages 3.48 mm/day.
The offshore wind machine is now switched on. Ideal winds reach 48%, with W (11.2%), WNW (8.7%), NW (5.8%) and NNW (7.2%) providing long stretches of cross-offshore to offshore flow. Onshore S (14.5%) and SSW (11.9%) still show up before and after fronts, but the pattern is much more favorable: a solid S/SSE swell under light W/NW wind turns South Wall into a clean, rippable righthander.
