Conditions at La Torche in June
June: The Summer Lull Begins
June marks the onset of the summer lull. Average swell height drops to 3ft (1.0m) and the average period falls to 8.9 seconds, so you are largely dependent on windswell and smaller W/NW pulses. The W at 33 percent and WNW at 25 percent directions are still dominant, but energy is concentrated in the 0.5-1m range, with just a scattering of 1.5-2m sets from W or WSW. Surfing is possible, but it is small and punchy rather than powerful. Ideal offshore wind drops to 17 percent, and sea breezes become more common as the land heats up. Water temps reach 15.8°C and air temps average 15.5°C, making summer rubber the norm. Dawn patrol can still deliver clean little waves when an E/NE wind is blowing, but expectations should be adjusted - this is a high-volume, low-power time of year.
