June: Midwinter Grind and Raw Power
June is the thick of the southern winter storm season. Punta Quidico sees its highest average swell of the year at 2.2m (7.2ft), but the period sits at a solid 12.2s and the wind is ideal only 38 percent of the time. The swell direction table shows a more scattered Pacific: SW 25.5 percent, WSW 22.3 percent, W 10.5 percent, WNW 4.3 percent, NW 2.5 percent, and a clear increase in NNW swell at 1.2 percent. The extra north in the swell is great for exposure, but the wind rose tells a rougher story: NNW winds are the top wind direction at 20.3 percent, with N and NNE adding another 15.9 percent. These frontal winds destroy surface quality. Winter rain peaks at 7.10 mm/day, sea temp drops to 11.8°C, and air temps sit near 11.1°C. In June, the biggest obstacle is not swell size but finding a day when the ocean is not a washing machine.
