June: The Southwest Monsoon Adds Height but Not Quality
June is when the southwest monsoon properly takes over. Average swell height climbs back to around 2.6ft (0.8m), the period improves slightly to 6.6s, and the direction tilts hard into the optimal window - SW (38%) and WSW (34%) dominate, with W adding another 5%. On paper, that should be excellent for Darigayos. In reality, the same monsoon flow that creates the SW swell also produces the wind: S (27%), SSW (22%) and SW (10%) combine for roughly 60% of the wind field, blowing straight into the beach. The result is bumpy, lumpy, onshore surf with limited quality. There are occasional clean mornings when the wind veers east, but they are rare; the true offshore ENE/E/ESE/SE component is only around 6%. With heavy rain (11.45 mm/day), air temperatures of 25.3°C and water temperature of 30.3°C, June is a humid, stormy month. If you catch the right tide and wind window, the WSW swell can be fun, but consistency is poor.
