Conditions at El Faro in June
June: Wet Season Windows Get Narrower
June brings the start of the wet season and the lowest ideal wind percentage of the year at just 36%. The swell is still solid, averaging 1.4m (4-5ft) with a 13.7s period. SSW remains the dominant source at 75.8%, while S contributes 16.9% and SW 5.7%. There is plenty of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf and a healthy portion of 5-6ft (1.5-2m) waves, so the ocean has energy. The challenge is the wind. S/SSW/SW directions become more frequent, keeping the sea surface textured and often causing waves to crumble under their own weight. Convective rainfall jumps to 4.95 mm/day, water temp climbs to 29.6°C, and the air is warm and humid with an average of 27.2°C. To score El Faro in June, you need to chase early offshore windows and be ready to wait out the afternoon showers.
