June: Southern-Hemisphere Swell at the Peak of Onshore Winds
June is dominated by long-period southern-hemisphere swell. The average period reaches 13.9s, the highest of the year, while average height is 0.9m (3ft). Swell directions are very favorable with SW at 42.1%, WSW at 34.8% and SSW at 15.6%. The problem is size: the vast majority of the energy sits below 1m, so most days offer only small, groveling 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) waves with occasional chest-high sets.
Ideal offshore wind is nearly nonexistent at 2%. Onshore WSW flow is 23.0%, W is 23.6% and SW is 14.4%, so the surface is almost always bumpy by late morning. Water temperature rises to 16.0C, air temperature to 17.9C, and rain is scarce at 0.09 mm/day. Dawn patrol is the only real play, and even then the long-period swell is usually too small to generate much push.
