Conditions at Preciosa in June
June: Peak Summer Lull
June is the heart of the Caribbean lull. The average swell height bottoms out at 1.2m (3.9ft), and the average period drops to 7.3s, the least powerful of the year. A remarkable 78.6 percent of all swell arrives from due E, with ENE another 15.2 percent; there is essentially no N, NNE or NNW energy to be found. This is pure trade-wind swell, generated by the easterly winds blowing across the tropical Atlantic. The wind stats mirror the wave data: ESE at 42.4 percent, SE at 25.7 percent and E at 22 percent make up the story. The good news is that 42 percent of the time the wind is favorable enough for clean conditions, especially early. Air temperatures average 27.5°C (23.1-34.3°C), water temperature is 27.7°C, and rainfall is relatively low at 1.26mm/day. Keep expectations small and you will still find fun, groveling waves - but this is the month to travel for real swell.
