Conditions at Wainui Beach in June
June: Winter Solstice Firing Line
June is the peak of the winter swell window and Wainui Beach feels it. The average swell height reaches 7ft (2.1m) and the period remains at a powerful 10.9 seconds. The swell spectrum becomes heavy on the S/SSE side, with direct S contributing 19 percent and SSE adding another 12 percent; combined with SSW, the south quadrant makes up a huge share of the total energy. This produces serious, powerful surf that can easily climb well overhead. Good wind is still abundant at 54 percent, and the dominant clean options come from WNW, NW and NNW, totaling over 37 percent of wind observations. Onshore E/SE winds are rare at around 8 percent, so the beach stays clean more often than not. Water temperature falls to 15.0°C and rainfall peaks with 3.50mm per day as weather systems march across the Tasman Sea. This is no month for small-wave boards - bring your step-up and enjoy some of the heaviest, longest rides of the year.
