Conditions at Pipeline in June
June: The Doldrums Close In
June is a quiet month at Pipeline. Average surf height lowers to 5.6ft (1.7m) and period compresses to 8.2s. The swell rose is dominated almost entirely by ENE trade swell at 54.7%, with E adding another 28.0%; there is virtually no N/NW energy. Trades blow from the east quadrants over 93% of the time, and favorable offshore winds are present just 13% of the time. What little surf arrives is short-period, cross-shore bumped and rarely given the clean southerly wind it needs to break properly over the reef. It is still warm - air 25.2°C, water 25.6°C - but it is clearly the low season.
