June: Winter Swell Peaks, Wind Turns On
June is the heart of the Southern Ocean storm track and the average swell height maxes out at 1.9m (6ft) with a heavy 14-second period. The wave rose is almost a monolith: SSW delivers 91% of the energy, and more than 84% of all waves fall into the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range. For most spots this would be firing; for Punta Panico, it is a directional disaster, because the SSW window is nearly opposite the N/NW swell the coast needs. The wind situation also deteriorates - S (47%) and SSW (32%) blow offshore but at strong 20-30kph and even 30-40kph speeds, cutting the ideal-wind percentage to just 30%. This is a month for heavy, bumpy, shadowed conditions, with water temps down to 20.5°C, air temps averaging 22.0°C and precipitation a bone-dry 0.04mm/day.
