Conditions at Perranporth in June
June: Summer Lull Sets In, but the Direction Window Stays Open
June is the first true month of the summer lull at Perranporth. Average swell heights ease to 3-4ft (1.1m) and the average period drops to 8.8s - shorter-period, windswell-dominated surf that lacks the deep-water power of winter. Interestingly, the swell direction is overwhelmingly favorable: W 43.4%, WNW 17.3% and WSW 15.1% combine for around 76% of observations, so the beach is never really flat. It's just small, with the majority of the west swell sitting in the 0.5-1.5m (2-5ft) range. The bigger issue is the wind. Onshore W and WSW winds are common, NNW flow also builds at 12.6%, and offshore ENE/E/ESE/SE winds drop to only about 17% of the time. These are longboard days, summer fun, and the start of the standard Cornish holiday-crowd season. With water temperatures pushing 14.6°C and air temps averaging 14.5°C, a spring suit starts to replace the winter rubber.
