Conditions at Chatarra in June
June: The Southeastern Machine Takes Over
June is when the summer swell machine locks into place. The swell direction is almost absurdly one-sided: ESE supplies 75.4% of all energy, while E adds 15.0% and SE supplies 9.1%. The average period is 6.0s and the average surf height is 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m). For a beach facing north-northeast, this is the wrong swell direction on almost every level - the waves arrive with an extreme oblique angle and little of their original energy reaches the break.
Winds are also strongly easterly, with E and ESE combining for over 81% of observations. Yet the ideal offshore wind percentage rises to 39%, which reflects a higher incidence of light wind rather than a true shift to S/SSW flow. These light-wind windows can make the grovelers more enticing, but the overall picture is small and bumpy. Air is 27.4°C, water is 28.2°C, precipitation is 3.28mm/day. Summer is fully here, and Chatarra is running on fumes.
