Conditions at Tolcarne in June
June: Small Summer Pulses and Dawn Patrols
June sees Tolcarne settle into summer mode. Average swell height is 3.5ft (1.1m) with a period of 8.8 seconds, meaning short-period, less-organized swell dominates. The west-northwest of the compass is still responsible for most of what breaks - W at 43%, WNW at 17%, WSW at 15% - but the height distribution is heavily weighted in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range. Clean, lined-up days exist but they require a fresh Atlantic pulse or a reinforcing sea breeze.
Favorable wind drops to 20%, and onshore northwesterly flow becomes more common, with NNW/NW/WNW combining for nearly 30% of the time. Air temperatures average 14.5°C, water temp rises to 14.6°C, and precipitation remains modest at 2.39 mm/day. This is a great month for beginners and longboarders, but advanced surfers need to stay patient and hunt the most exposed, swell-starved corners of the bay.
