June: Hurricane Season's First Punch and Wet, Glassy Windows
June marks the true shift to the wet season and the start of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season. The average swell height reaches 4-5ft (1.4m), the largest average of the year, while the period remains long at 13.9s. SSW still supplies the bulk of the energy with 80.9%, but the S direction becomes more important at 14.0%, reflecting the increasing influence of tropical cyclones and southerly monsoon flow. Over 57% of the waves are in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class and a healthy 18% of the SSW contribution reaches 1.5-2m (5-6ft), with a scattering of 2-2.5m (6-8ft) sets.
Ideal offshore winds drop to 34%, the lowest of the year. The wind rose becomes more mixed, with E and ESE flow accounting for 9.2% and 9.9% respectively, and the W/WNW sea breeze still strong. Rainfall jumps to 6.99mm/day, and the air is humid and warm at 26.1°C. Water temperature climbs to 30.3°C. June is a month of potential rather than consistency: if a tropical storm or hurricane aligns with a northerly offshore wind, the rewards can be big, but those clean windows are short and often interrupted by storm clouds.
