June: Sea Breezes and Small Westerly Swell

June remains stuck in the summer lull. Average swell height holds at 0.7m (2-3ft), average period is 4.7s, and the bulk of the surf is slight SW windswell generated in the North Sea and Skagerrak. The swell window is heavily weighted toward SW-37.2% of all readings-but 11.5% of those are under 0.5m and another 14.7% are only 0.5-1m. Thermal low pressure and afternoon sea breezes create a persistent SSW/S/SW wind regime about 44% of the time, while offshore N/NE winds drop to just 21% of the wind rose. With 16% ideal wind, good surf usually requires an early morning northerly before the breeze kicks in. Air temperatures are mild at 14.5°C and the sea has warmed to 14.3°C, but conditions are mostly small and lumpy.
