Forecast for the Week of 6/7 - 6/14
Watching Thursday AM for rideable waves with decent shape.
Really slow week with poor or no waves other than Thursday. Based on what I’m seeing on the upper level charts, we’re looking at sometime next week for the next round of decent surf. A persistent ridge of high pressure is pushing any low pressure system too far north to generate swell for our region. This is typical for summer, but it’s certainly better when it’s not the case.
Monday 6/8
Onshore wind with poor conditions
Tuesday 6/9
Small northeast wind waves with clean conditions. A little over ankle high but not by much. Wind turns out of the south for poor conditions by late afternoon.
Wednesday 6/10
South wind and no surf. A fetch of stronger south wind develops late day into the overnight hours.
Thursday 6/11

Best board: longboard

Flat
Sunday 6/14

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.
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.
