Conditions at Sunglow Pier in June
June: The Atlantic Goes To Sleep
June is the rock-bottom of the surf year. The average swell falls to 1.5ft (0.5m), barely a pulse, and the wave period drops to 7.7s - the lowest of any month. The swell rose is hijacked by ESE waves (38.7%), most of it micro-slop under 1.5ft (0.5m). Only 43% of the total energy comes from the favorable NNE-NE-ENE-E quadrant, and most of that is wind-driven mush. The summer seabreeze cycle locks in: onshore ESE-SE winds cycle daily, ideal wind conditions bottom out at 6%, and the pier becomes a glassy pond with periodic dribbly windswell.
On the bright side, water temps are a bath-like 27°C (81°F) and air temps average 27°C (80°F), but June also brings the heaviest rainfall of the year at 6.3 mm/day, usually in violent afternoon thunderstorms. The tropics are beginning to wake up, but real surf-producing systems are still rare. This is the month to accept the ankle-biters and dream of November.
