June: Big Swells, Sharper Winds
June marks the true opening of winter. The average swell height jumps to 9.2ft (2.8m) at 12.4 seconds, and the energy is swinging farther west: SW (19%), WSW (11%), W (3%) and even WNW (1%) all appear in meaningful amounts. This is when Kommetjie can handle serious groundswell. The problem is wind: NNW (20%) and NW (11%) are now the second and third most common wind directions, blowing directly into the bay and chopping up what could be world-class faces. That said, the SE wind still fires 12% of the time, and ideal windows hold at 19%, helped by the post-frontal offshore return flow. Air temperatures cool to 15.1°C, water to 15.8°C, and rainfall increases to 2.77 mm/day. If you can time the fronts, the reward is heavy, powerful 9ft+ (2.7m+) surf with hollow, racy lines at the point.
