June: Winter Groundswell Turns On

June marks the beginning of full winter. Average swell height pushes to 1.3m (4.3ft), period remains 10.6s, and ideal wind jumps to 34%. The wave rose tilts south: S is the single largest direction at 17%, followed by SSE at 14% and E/ESE at 14% and 11%. Meanwhile, offshore winds are much more frequent-SW 11%, SSW 11%, WSW 6%-and the onshore NE flow backs off to under 10%. This is classic storm-surf territory: powerful, long-period groundswell and clean wind, but more of the energy is angled for a south- or east-facing coast. Water temp drops to 10.6°C, air averages 9.6°C, and rainfall climbs to 2.27mm/day. Keep an eye on the tail end of east-moving lows for those ENE pulses that still get through.
