Conditions at Taapuna in June
June: Southern Ocean Power Meets Strong Trades
June is statistically one of the biggest months for raw swell, averaging 2.0m (6.5ft) with a 12.8s period. The source, however, is stubbornly southerly: S at 25.5%, SSE at 18.2%, SSW at 16.7% and SE at 13.6%. The desirable southwest-westerly window is thin, leaving Taapuna dependent on wrap-around energy. Meanwhile, the ESE trade winds become the dominant wind regime at 27%, often blowing in the 20-40kph range, which chops the surface and reduces ideal surfing windows to just 27 percent. June is a month for experienced locals who know the reef, but it is far from Taapuna's cleanest or most consistent time of year. Water temp drops to 27.3°C and rainfall is low at 2.4mm/day.
