Conditions at Cave in June

June: Summer Lull With the First Dry-Weather Pattern

June is the beginning of the true summer lull at Cave. Average swell height drops further to 4.9ft (1.5m) and the average period is 9.2s, producing mainly short-period, low-energy waves. The wave rose becomes heavily concentrated in the NNW and NW quadrants, with NNW contributing 40.5% of all recorded swell energy; the direct W and SW windows are only a small fraction. The wind story is even more one-sided: NNW wind blows 47.3% of the time, while ideal E/NE offshore flow sinks to 15%. Rain is almost absent at 0.38mm/day, air temperatures average 18.9°C and water temperature is 17.5°C. Summer surfers can still find rideable peaks, but it takes a disciplined eye on the forecast and a willingness to surf smaller, mushier conditions.
