June: Southern Swell Arrives but Onshore Wind Builds
June marks the start of the true low season. Average swell height drops to 1.0m (3.3ft) while period actually rises to 12.4s, a sign that long-period southern hemisphere groundswell is filling in. The swell direction is now dominated by WSW (34 percent), SW (26 percent), and W (28 percent), with SSW at 11 percent, exactly the kind of southwesterly energy that Point Dume needs. The trouble is the wind: ideal conditions fall to just 45 percent, the worst of any month. The North Pacific High flexes its muscles and the afternoon WSW/SW sea breeze becomes a near-daily event, chopping up what are often modest 2-3ft (0.5-1m) waves with occasional 3-5ft (1-1.5m) sets. Mornings and evenings offer the best chances for glassy conditions. Air temps reach 18.9°C (66°F) and water temps rise to 14.9°C (59°F), but don't expect much rain with just 0.08 mm/day.
