Conditions at Pencit Reef in June
June: Southwest Monsoon and Minimal Swell
June is a true low month. Average swell drops to 0.7m (2.3ft) and period falls to 8.5s. The dominant swell direction remains ENE (48.6%) plus E (28.0%), but nearly all of it is below 1m, making Pencit Reef mushy and underpowered.
On a positive note, the southwest monsoon brings a much higher percentage of offshore flow - 41% of the time winds come from the S/SSW/SW/WSW. The surface can be clean and occasionally glassy, especially in the mornings before sea breezes kick onshore. However, the lack of size and short-period energy means those clean days offer little more than small crumbly waves. Only a tropical cyclone passing far enough away can inject proper 1.5m+ (5ft+) swell into the NE window, and even then the wind direction can be tricky. With water at 29.7°C and tropical showers around 6.8mm/day, it is more of a tropical beach holiday than a surf mission.
