June: Small But Not Dead
June is when summer settles in. The average swell height drops to 4-5ft (1.4m), period is 10.1s, and the swell is overwhelmingly from the SSW (19.8%), SW (30.9%) and WSW (24.1%). Most of those waves are in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) band, with a large slice of 0.5-1m (2-3ft) summer swell. The quality is often average - punchy on a good day, but with less consistency and a higher percentage of short-period swell mixed in.
The wind becomes a major factor. Ideal offshore flow falls to just 24%, and the prevailing patterns are WNW (15.5%) and NW (12.0%), which are not true offshore for a southwest-facing beach, plus a notable SSE (9.3%) onshore component. Mornings are the best bet before the sea breeze kicks in. Air temperatures reach 11.0°C (51.8°F), water temp climbs to 10.8°C (51.4°F), and precipitation is 3.5mm/day. This is a transitional month - more consistent than July, but already moving toward the summer minimum.
