Came in under forecast. Buoy reading is 3ft@5.9s. Bring a big board.
Steep angled south wind swell. Definitely worth a look in the AM.
Wave heights aren’t going to be particularly impressive. Larger for Ocean Couty.
Notes: Not great, but it’s waves. Early AM session is best. Thunderstorms are possible (but unlikely early AM), watch your local weather forecast.
Best board: longboard or a groveler at the right sandbar

Small wind waves with light wind and clean conditions. Ankle high.
Best board: longboard
Saturday 6/13
Flat
Sunday 6/14
Watch end of daylight hours but have low expectations for quality. It’s possible this comes together. This could end up being a decent day of surf. Or not.
Monday 6/15
TBD
Tuesday 6/16
Probably flat
Looking Ahead
I’m a bit more optimistic about next week. While there’s nothing super exciting in the charts, the pattern that is preventing surf will have broken down and stronger low pressure systems should be able to be in the vicinity of our region. Whether that occurs or not is still challenging to say, but it’s way more positive than what we’ve been seeing lately. Right now, around 6/18 looks the most interesting but time will tell.
The following week (after 6/22) looks like a return to the pattern we’ve been seeing the past two weeks. I’d plan on making the most of whatever we see from 6/16 - 6/20 because I’d expect things to look pretty slow as we get into the summer months.
