Conditions at Tonel in June
June: Small, Punchy and Windy
June is the start of the true summer flat spell at Tonel. The average swell height is 1.4m (4-5ft) and the average period is 9.0s, so most of the energy falls into the average, punchy and rideable category. Swell direction is almost entirely from the NW quadrant: NW at 46.5%, NNW at 29.5% and WNW at 14.1%, with true W at only 3.6%. This means more northwesterly windswell than clean, long-period groundswell. The wind is the biggest constraint. Ideal offshore flow from the E/NE quadrant occurs just 8% of the time, while the summer northerly machine is in full force: NNW wind blows 53.0% of the time, often at 20-40kph. These are cross-shore winds that make the surf lumpy and hard to read. The weather is beautiful, though, with air temps averaging 19.9°C, water at 18.1°C and only 0.25mm/day of rain. For shortboarders with low expectations, June can still serve up punchy peaks in the mornings.
