June: Peak Size Under Trade-Wind Pressure
June is a big-water month. Average swell height jumps to 6ft (1.9m) and the period climbs to 14.3s, with the bulk of the energy in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range. The swell direction is again SSW (54 percent) and S (30 percent), and the longer-period pulses wrap into the NW-facing break with real authority. When the wind is right, the reef is as heavy as it gets.
But June's challenge is wind strength. The SE trades dominate (SE 44 percent, ESE 34 percent), and a good share of that blows 20-30kph, trimming the ideal wind time to 50 percent. Still, these are offshore directions, so even a stiff SE trade is far better than the winter westerlies. Rain drops to 1.4 mm/day, air temp is 25.9°C, and water temperature cools slightly to 28.7°C. Chase the dawn patrol before the trades peak.
