Conditions at Carrownisky in June
June: Summer Slumber Begins
June is where the North Atlantic cools its jets. Average swell height drops to 3ft (1.0m) and the period drops to 8.4s, putting most surf into the short-period, locally generated windswell category. Swell direction is still dominated by W (21.4%), WNW (18.0%) and WSW (16.1%), but the height distribution is overwhelmingly in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range, with very little push. Even when the W/WNW swell shows up, it often lacks the period to break cleanly at Carrownisky. Wind quality is mixed at best: ideal offshore flow occurs just 16% of the time, while SSW, SW and WSW winds total a significant share of the rose. The saving grace is summer weather: air temperatures average 13.2°C (range 6.7 to 26.0°C), water temperature rises to 14.3°C (58°F), and the longer daylight hours make the smaller sessions more enjoyable. Look for dawn N/NE offshore windows and small, clean longboard waves.
