Summer Forecast Note
As we get into summer, this page will be updated less. I primarily mean for this page to track swells as they arrive and that’s not something that happens that much this time of year. As surfers, we all know that July-mid August is the slowest time of year for surf. The waves we do see tend to be more similar to trade swell than actual swell events. For this type of setup, wave heights are pretty unimportant and will be too affected by local bathymetry. In general, if the waves are under waist high, I won’t be attaching the tabular data associated.
I’ll still be updating this page with days that are worth a look, but I’ll go ahead and give the NOAA servers a rest until something of interest pops up.
Forecast for the Week of 6/27-7/4
I’d be lying if I said this isn’t another really slow week with nothing to look forward to. High pressure dominates our local weather pattern as well as over the western Atlantic. Trade-like swell is really the only thing that can get through with a setup like we’re seeing. The flat spell will continue until something changes.
There’s enough for the absolute beginner on a longboard, but it’s terrible all week.
Looking Ahead
There’s some disagreement in the major atmospheric models about the time period around 7/5. That’s the next time period for a potential swell event. That or in the following few days.
As always, when you start looking at the end of the forecast window, uncertainty is really high. I’d plan on having other stuff to do.
