Conditions at Nuevo Vallarta in June
June: Summer Swell Meets the Windy Season
June is a month of competing patterns. Southern Hemisphere swells are now driving the bay, with SW at 46.9 percent and WSW at 38.5 percent, plus a noticeable SSW contribution. The average period is 13.8s and the average height stays around 1.0m (3.3ft), yet only 35 percent of the waves reach the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range. The energy is there, but it often lacks the size to really light up the sandbars.
The main problem is wind. Ideal offshore conditions flatline at 32 percent for the month, the lowest of the year. W and WNW winds total a large share of the flow, blowing cross-shore and onshore and making conditions mushy and disorganized. The wet season has also arrived: average precipitation jumps to 5.00mm/day, and water temperature reaches a steamy 28.9°C with air temperatures near 24.9°C. For the dedicated surfer, the best chance is a pre-dawn glass-off with a fresh pulse of southwest groundswell.
