June: Southern Hemi Energy Meets the Green Season Bump
June is the core of the Southern Hemisphere groundswell season in Central America. The average height stays at 3-4ft (1.1m) with a powerful 13.8s period, and the swell direction is even more favorable - SSW at 94.5% plus another 4.8% from the SW. Over half of the waves (53.9%) fall in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with 3.5% reaching 5-6ft (1.5-2m). The catch? The ITCZ has settled overhead, rainfall climbs to 8.06mm/day, air temperatures sit at 25.7°C, and ideal wind drops to 14%. W-WNW flow (WNW 20.7%, W 16.9%, WSW 15.1%) keeps the surface bumpy for much of the day. Score it early, before the daily convective cycle messes the lineup.
