Conditions at Taronui Bay in June
June: The Winter Engine Rumbles
June marks the arrival of serious winter stock. Average swell climbs to 1.3m (4ft) and the favourable N/NNW/NW/NNE share reaches 28%. The period, however, has fallen to 9.0s, so a lot of the energy is shorter-period windswell rather than groundswell. The wind picture is dominated by WSW (12.7%) and W (11.2%), which sits cross-to-onshore at a north-facing bay, limiting the number of clean days, with ideal wind only 23%. Still, synoptic-scale lows over the Tasman are now generating frequent NW and NNW pulses, and when the low shifts east and the wind swings to SW/SSW/S, Taronui can produce heavy 1.5-2m (5-6ft) wedges. Air temperatures drop to 14.1°C and water to 16.4°C.
