June is prime time. Average height holds around 5ft (1.6m), average period remains powerful at 13.7 seconds, and the ideal wind score jumps to 41%.

Swell is heavily SSW-favored: SSW supplies 62.7% of the energy, S adds 22.9% and SW adds 7.9%. A substantial 32.9% of SSW energy sits in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class, and there is plenty of grunt in the water.
