Conditions at Honolua Bay in June
June: The Summer Slump Settles In
June is firmly in the low season. Average swell height drops to 1.3m (about 4ft) and the average period falls to 9.5s. The swell direction rose is dominated by ENE at 51.2% and E at 32.6%, with essentially no N, NW, or NNW energy. For a northwest-facing reef like Honolua, this means the bay is not really open to the swell; what arrives is short-period trade wind swell that lacks the power and period to form serious surf.
The trade wind regime is at its strongest. ENE winds blow 73.0% of the time and NE another 20.0%, while southwest quadrant winds are almost nonexistent. Ideal wind is only 21%. With average air temperature of 25.3°C and water at 25.4°C, June is more about flat, warm-water relaxation than quality waves. The few tiny N pulses are very rare, so keep expectations low.
