Forecast for 6/1 - 6/6
High pressure builds in for Monday afternoon and looks to dominate our local weather until late week or next weekend. This will push the few little low pressure systems we are expecting to get out to sea and out of our swell window. The GFS model is suggesting we could see a bit stronger swell around Thursday/Friday of this week, but it’s on its own for that prediction. We’ll have to wait and see.
In terms of solid surf, this week is unlikely to deliver. The second week of June looks more promising.

Potentially fun ESE swell around this time. Forecast models are diverging for this time period with the GFS (what this comes from) calling for much better conditions than other models. Currently, if we see anything resembling what’s in the tables above, this will be the best day of the work week.
Notes: Too much uncertainty; maybe nothing
Best board: TBD
