Conditions at El Silencio in June
June: Cold, Consistent and Chunky
Winter arrives, and El Silencio settles into a steady rhythm of strong SSW groundswell. The average swell height reaches around 6-7ft (1.9m), the highest of the year, while the period remains a powerful 13.2s. SSW is still the primary source at 76%, but S swell increases to 12% - a sign that more southerly storm tracks are sending waves into the region. Over 75% of all swell observations are in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range, with occasional waves over 8ft. This is not a month for beginners; it is a heavy, fast, physical beach break.
Onshore wind pressure is intense. S and SSW winds account for over three-quarters of the windrose, with light 0-10kph flow being common but 10-20kph bursts from SSW becoming more frequent. Ideal wind only happens 1% of the time. Water temperature drops to 16.5°C, air to 17.6°C, and precipitation remains virtually zero. The saving grace is the long-period consistency; if you can find a window between wind pulses, there are serious waves on offer.
