June: Deep Winter Energy, Locked-Out Offshore Winds
June marks the start of peak winter swell season. Average swell height reaches 6ft (1.9m) with a 13.2s period, and the S/SSW/SW window supplies essentially all the energy. The 5-6ft (1.5-2m) class is the most common at 49.4 percent, and another 28.3 percent runs 7-8ft (2-2.5m) or better - this is pumping, heavy groundswell by any standard.
But El Huayaco's offshore wind probability falls to zero, and the wind machine is fully locked in. S and SSW winds account for a staggering 93.7 percent of all observations, with 10-20kph breezes blowing more than 89 percent of the time. This creates persistent sideshore to onshore chop that breaks apart the swell's potential. Air and water temps drop to 17.6°C and 16.5°C respectively, with almost no rain. June is a month for big-wave specialists who don't mind negotiating lumpy, wind-blown conditions.
