Conditions at The Pass in June
June: Winter's Core, Longest Periods
June brings the longest average wave period of the year at 9.6s. The Tasman Sea becomes a full winter storm track, with mid-latitude cyclones spinning long-period S/SE swell (SSE 23.7%, SE 17.9%) up from the Southern Ocean. Average height settles at 5.2ft (1.6m), and nearly 11.3% of waves reach the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) range.
Wind-wise, this is as good as it gets: offshore S (15.1%), SSW (11.7%) and SW (9.5%) make up a combined 36.3%, while the onshore N/NNE/NE/NNW quadrant drops to just 15.4%. The winter fronts can also drag light NNW winds (9.0%) behind them, and with air temps at 18.7°C (66°F) and water at 21.4°C (71°F), you'll want a 3/2mm on. Consistency here is king: solid groundswell, offshore mornings, and a point that looks as good as it gets.
