June: Deep-Water Power and Serious Machinery
June is the heart of winter and Outer Kom turns into a serious big-wave set-up. Average swell height rises to 9.2ft (2.8m) and the period remains at a chunky 12.4s. The swell window is now broad: SW at 19.2 percent, WSW at 10.9 percent, SSW at 8.3 percent, and W at 2.9 percent. That combination of direction, height and period means the west-facing reef is constantly under pressure, with heavy, stacked lines rolling through.
Wind is the great dividing factor. NNW is the top wind at 20.2 percent, with NW at 11.2 percent and WNW at 7.5 percent - all onshore and messy. But SE wind still appears 12.1 percent of the time, and when it blows over a clean 12-second swell, Outer Kom is truly world class. The ideal window remains high at 19 percent, equal to May. Expect cold water (15.8°C), air around 15.1°C, and the highest rainfall of the year at 2.77mm/day - this is no holiday surf; it is business.
