June: Trade Winds and Short-Period Chop
June brings the core summer pattern to La Puntilla, and the quality bar drops. The average swell height is around 3.5ft (1.1m) and the period falls to 7.2s, right in the average/short-period windswell zone. The swell direction has shifted dramatically to the east, E alone accounts for 70% of all wave energy, with ENE adding 26%. This is still an optimal swell direction for the beach, but the waves are mostly short-period, with a significant share in the 1.5-3ft (0.5-1m) groveler zone and a large part in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range. The wind is the real killer: ESE winds blow 46% of the time and E winds another 30%, producing persistent cross/onshore chop and bumpy faces. The wind is ideal for surfing only 7% of the time, and strong offshore directions from SSW/SW/WSW/W are nearly absent. Water temps climb to 27.6°C, air temps average 27.3°C, and rainfall is moderate at 1.61 mm/day.
