Conditions at Umdloti in June
June: Prime Time on the KZN Coast
June is Umdloti's benchmark month. The average wave period peaks at 10.8s, the average height remains a solid 5-6ft (1.7m), and the wind is ideal 60% of the time - the highest of the year. The swell rose is winter textbook: S 24.8%, SSE 18.9%, SE 13.3%, ESE 12.9% and E 11.6%, with S swell heavily loaded in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range. Those long-period S and SSE groundswells get pushed up from the Roaring Forties, wrap into the KZN bight, and light up the east-facing sandbars. The wind is equally friendly. WNW jumps to 15.9%, NW 9.3%, W 6.6% and WSW 6.0%, and combined with light NNW and SW flow, offshore and cross-offshore conditions are a daily occurrence. You still get NE days at 8.9%, but they don't dominate. With air temp at 18.6°C, water temp at 22.3°C and only 0.64 mm/day rain, June is cool, crisp and consistent - the definition of winter swell season.
