Conditions at Barley Cove in June
June: Summer Lull Begins
June officially opens the summer lull. Average swell drops to 4.9ft (1.5m), period to 9.1s, and the surf becomes more dependent on the SSW window. The wave rose is broad - W and WSW still produce a large share of the total energy - but much of that is windswell with poor direction for this south-facing beach. Ideal wind jumps to 30 percent, helped by a healthy NW and NNW wind regime, but the waves are generally small. Average period in the 8-10s range feels average and punchy at best; do not expect many long-period bombs. When summer high pressure sends 1-1.5m (3-5ft) short-period swell, it is groveling to fun. Water temperature is 14.0°C, air averages 13.7°C, and precipitation is moderate at 3.01 mm/day. A 3/2 wetsuit starts to work in June, but the dawn patrol still comes with a hint of winter chill.
