Conditions at Playa Camaronal in June
June: Maximum Period, Minimum Push
June delivers the same cruel joke as May: an average period of 14.5s but an average swell height of about 1ft (0.3m). The south window dominates almost completely, with SSW at 72.8%, S at 9.0%, SSE at 0.3% and SW at 16.4%, putting over 98% of the wave energy in the preferred directions. This is about as pure as the long-period south-swell setup gets all year, but the height distribution says it all: nearly everything is in the 0-1.6ft (0-0.5m) class, with just 0.4% sneaking into the 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) range from the SSW. The winds are light and messy, with a growing westerly cross-shore component and onshore S/SSE/SSW/SW winds near 28.3%. The wet season is in full swing, with 6.59mm/day of rain, air temperatures averaging 27.3°C and water at 29.1°C. The ideal-wind statistic remains 0%. For a surfer, it is the equivalent of a high-performance engine running on fumes.
