June: Hurricane Season Warmup: Size Up, Winds Get Messy
June is the start of the East Pacific hurricane and monsoon season, and it brings a noticeable jump in average swell size to 1.6m (5.2ft), with periods at a still-strong 13.7s. The swell mix is still ideal directionwise: S 15.9%, SSW 68.9% and SW 10.2%, with the main band pushed toward 1-2m (3.3-6.5ft). There are more cleanly 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) sets than February - around 39% of the time - and the long-period tropical swell can be legitimately powerful.
Yet the atmospheric pattern gets rougher. Ideal winds drop to 31%, and SE/SSE/S winds increase significantly (SE 9.5%, SSE 8.3%, S 7.1%) as tropical moisture invades. Rainfall jumps hard to 4.95 mm/day, and water temp climbs to 29.9°C. The surf is often a warm, lumpy, cross-onshore mess, but when a tropical depression or early hurricane sends a clean pulse of SSW groundswell, Troncones transforms into a fast, grinding, long-period beach break. Patience and an early alarm are your best tools.
