UPDATED FORECAST 6-9 - SLOW DOWN IN SWELL.....

South swell fading tonight - 2-3ft at 13-14 seconds, dribbling in compared to the past couple days.  Hope you got some this week as it's going to get a bit weak over the next 5-7 days with minor south pulses and some minimal windswell.   We are suppose to see a tiny northwest swell at 2-3 ft at 15 seconds starting Saturday.   In fact the West Oregon Buoy is showing 5-6 ft at 14 seconds from the northwest - so there is a small pulse from that northern direction.  Northwest winds crank up tonight through the weekend, so if you live by a spot that likes some northwest wind swell you might have some better options through the period.  Winds let up briefly on Monday, then back on thereafter.   The nice run of winds and good waves behind us for a while.   Weather wise - looking and feeling very much like an El Niño summer - low pressure lurking about, muggy at times, but also still quite cool by June standards in CA.   In fact, El Niño is already starting to have an influence over the far West Pacific as two typhoons have now both recurved and tracked north and east into the Gulf of Alaska - in June - something you don't usually see until late summer/early fall.  It appears we might be heading for a very strong El Niño for the 2023/2024 Season.   Stay tuned.   Cya in the water.
