Conditions at Stockton in June
June: The Doldrums Arrive
June is the start of Stockton's low season. Average swell height bottoms out at 1.3ft (0.4m) and the average period is 6.6s. The swell direction strongly favors SSE (25.2%), SE (18.7%) and S (18.3%), but nearly all of it is in the 0-1.6ft (0-0.5m) class - too small to surf with any real power. Meanwhile, the wind regime turns onshore: SSW (11.9%), SW (10.3%), S (10.3%) and SSE (9.2%) are the dominant directions, meaning the south-facing beach is almost constantly chopped up. Ideal offshore wind is just 3% of the time. The water warms to 21.6°C, the air to 21.1°C, but summer beach weather comes at the cost of rideable surf. Your best hope is a dawn session on a dying S/SE windswell.
