June: Pumping SSW Ground Swell with Summer Softness
June keeps the southern swell machine running at full tilt. SSW delivers 72.5% of the wave energy and SW adds 22.3%, so the swell quality is extremely directional. Average wave height bumps up to 5ft (1.5m) with a 13.9s period, producing powerful, connecting sets on the reef. The wind field is lighter and more variable than winter: offshore directions total 38.8% and the ideal surfing wind score is 60%. Onshore directions from SW/W are small, but the tropical sea breeze can texture the surface during the day. With rain at 6.59mm/day and high humidity, conditions are warm and lush. Air temp averages 27.3°C and water temp sits at 29.1°C. Dawn patrol offers the cleanest surface, while late morning brings classic summer softness.
