June: The North Wind Rules
June is the first true doldrums month. The average swell height is 1.4m (4.6ft) with a period of 9.3s - marginal for the beach. NW swell is dominant at 41.2%, followed by WNW (24.1%) and NNW (23.9%), but most of the energy is in the 0.5-1.5m (1.6-5ft) range. There are still occasional 2m waves, but they are short-period and lack the force to stand up well on the sandbars.
Winds are brutal. Ideal wind is only 9%. NNW blows 49.4% of the time, with a massive 23.5% in the 20-30kph band and 4.9% at 30-40kph. This persistent thermal wind creates lumpy, messy conditions almost every afternoon. Offshore E/ESE/SE/SSE winds condense to a mere 3.4%. Water temp is 17.8°C (64°F) and air averages 19.2°C (67°F) with almost no rain (0.70 mm/day). June is seasonably poor - only a dawn patrol may catch the NW swell before the wind comes up.
