June: Peak Windswell Monotony
June is the most stagnant month of the surf calendar. Average wave height is 1.1m (3.6ft) and, ironically, the period peaks for the year at 6.6s - yet the quality suffers because ideal surf wind is only 47%, the lowest of any month. Swell is embarrassingly one-dimensional: 71.8% of all wave energy comes from the ESE, with another 14.9% from SE and 12.6% from E. The S/SSW/SW window is 0.0%. Winds are split between offshore NNW at 21.4% and onshore ESE/SE at a combined 26.2%. This combination produces short, crumbly, wind-affected waves that are mostly soft and mushy, apart from occasional clean dawn windows. The summer heat arrives: air temperature 27.4°C, water temperature 28.5°C, and tropical showers at 1.37 mm/day keep things warm and humid. Keep expectations low.
