June: Maximum South Swell, Maximum Frustration on Windy Days
The southern hemisphere machine reaches its first full crescendo in June. Average surf height comes in at 5ft (1.6m), with a 13.7-second period, and the dominant SSW swell carries an extraordinary 68.9 percent of the energy. Nearly a third of all waves are in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range, and 4.3 percent exceed 2m (6.5ft). This is powerful, serious surf for an exposed SSW-orientated beach.
Yet the wind is the great filter. Ideal conditions remain at 27 percent, onshore S/SW flow occupies 58 percent of the time, and the N/NE offshore flow is at its annual minimum. June is also wet: average precipitation jumps to 4.95mm/day, air temp sits at 27.2°C, and water temp climbs to 29.9°C. The Ranch can be pumping, but it is often lumpy, rain-soaked, and wind-affected. Only the early morning - when the land breeze occasionally takes over - provides the clean, open-face conditions the spot is known for.
