Conditions at Chickens in June
June: South Swell Under Fire
June brings more size to the Indian Ocean, with average swell height at 1.2m (3.9ft) and period at 8.2s. There is genuine energy out there: WSW accounts for 32% and W for 21% of the wave rose, but the good south-sector swells are still present, with SSW at 12.8% and S at 7.7%. The catch is that only about 22% of the total wave energy arrives from the ideal S/SSE/SE/SSW window, and the wind is ideal just 23% of the time - the lowest of the year.
Strong W and WSW monsoon winds blow over 63% of the time, capping the swell with wind chop and making the reef look more like a washing machine than a surf break. Periods are punchy, but that doesn't matter if the surface is blown out. Air temps are 28.1°C, water 29.3°C, and rain averages 5.17mm/day. June is a month for chasing small forecast windows and checking conditions obsessively.
