Came in under forecast.
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

This had trended down in the past few days. At this point, I have really low expectations for our region.
At this point, knee-waist at best unless we see overperformance. Wind should be offshore, but possibly stronger than desired given the really weak swell.
Notes: Get on it early but check to make sure there’s waves. Everything has underperformed this week, if this does the same, I’d skip it.
Best board: longboard

Strong onshore winds send new swell. Poor conditions.
Tuesday - End of Week
Flat - Near flat
As of right now, it looks pretty terrible next week. Wednesday/Thursday early AM for longboard waves maybe. It’s really bad until something changes. High pressure remains dominant potentially all week. Models are in disagreement on that.
Looking Ahead
Upper level charts look really bleak. High pressure dominates and the jet stream stays really far north. Other than the possibility of an early season tropical storm, the next time period I’m seeing is around 6/15 and then again around 6/20. That far out, there’s no confidence anyway.
Long story short, welcome to summer.
