Conditions at Punta Arena in June
June: Southern Hemi Groundswell and Trade Wind Chop
June looks similar to May on paper but with slightly more size. The average swell height is 0.8m (2-3ft), the period is 13.3s, and S plus SSE swell dominate an extraordinary 97% of the wave spectrum. There is no meaningful contribution from the optimal northern or eastern swell directions. Punta Arena is essentially in the shadow of a southern-hemisphere swell machine that wants to hit different coastlines.
The ideal wind percentage falls to 28%, the lowest of the entire year. Easterly winds, especially E at 16.2%, ESE at 14.7%, and ENE at 12.0%, bring persistent cross-shore/onshore energy and keep the lineup bumpy. Water temperature climbs to 26.3°C and air averages 27.8°C. Only early morning light W or SW winds offer a clean enough surface to enjoy the straggly waist-high waves that do wrap in.
