Forecast for 6/3 - 6/8
Rideable east swell continues for Wednesday with decent conditions but poor shape with closeouts being the norm at most spots. I’d expect that to be the end of it. Late week looks more interesting as high pressure starts to exit off North Carolina sometime overnight on Friday. Strong south winds are expected on Saturday that should set up some surf for Sunday. Models are in disagreement about the wind direction, with the Euro showing most of the swell out of the SW and mainly missing our region. The GFS is more bullish on this time period.
We could see a cold front pass through early next week with some better directed swell. Models are struggling and have been looking different each day. Low confidence in that at this time.

Small east wind swell with clean conditions early. Wave heights in the knee-thigh range or so and should build into the afternoon. Wind turns south for poor conditions sometime late AM/early PM.

Worth a look in the AM but I’d have low expectations on size. Wind is light offshore to start the day but turns south in the afternoon.
Shape should be decent given the SE swell angle. Breaking wave heights are in the thigh-waist range if this holds.
Notes: Low expectations

Definitely worth keeping an eye on this one given the time of year. The swell angle is a bit more east than I’d like, but I’d expect pretty good shape given the shorter period. Wave heights should be in the waist-stomach range. The table above is a bit misleading due to new south wind waves mixing in. The AM is the time to watch.
Low tide is conveniently timed for the early morning session. Wind is light enough but somewhat cross-offshore. Conditions are unlikely to be flawless, but it looks good considering it’s June.
Notes: Looks pretty fun.
Best board: longboard or groveler

Likely the better day of the weekend. New south swell comes in overnight and fades through the day. Wind is light offshore early but switches cross-offshore for the afternoon.
Waves should be in the stomach high range to start the day. Convenient low tide given the short period swell.
Notes: Looks pretty fun. Waves will be mushy and soft though.

Wednesday 6/10
More east swell expected around this time.
Looking Ahead
There’s divergence in the models heading into next week. It seems unlikely that we see nothing given the setup I’m seeing, but it definitely is less positive than some of the early model runs.
The main issue we’re facing is a strong ridge pushing all the low pressure systems too far north to affect us. Upper level charts have started to look worse for next week but it looks like this pattern breaks for the third week of June. Personally, I think we’ll see something at some point, but the charts are looking worse than a few days ago.
