June: Southern Hemisphere Swell Machine
June is peak season for Southern Hemisphere groundswell on this coast. The average swell height is 5ft (1.5m) with a powerful 13.8s period. SSW accounts for 82% of the energy and SW another 18%, giving the SW-facing coast a generous mix of angles. Around 35% of the total energy is 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) or bigger, including some 6-8ft (2-2.5m) sets. Yet the surf quality is ruined by wind: only 7% of the time is ideal, as westerly and west-northwesterly winds dominate, with stronger 20-30km/h gusts sneaking into the mix. Rain is heavy at 10.04mm/day, air temps are 27.3°C, and water temps are 28.6°C. This is a month for the committed charger, not the casual cruiser.
