PACIFIC OVERVIEW
Current Conditions
On Thursday (7/22) North and Central CA had waves at waist to maybe chest high and warbled from local northwest wind and mushed and not really rideable with fog and low clouds. Protected breaks were waist to near chest high on the sets and mushed but fairly clean and weak. At Santa Cruz surf was thigh to maybe waist high on the biggest sets and inconsistent and clean. In Southern California/Ventura waves were thigh to waist high and moderately textured if not warbled from northwest wind. Central Orange County had set waves at waist to near chest high on the bigger sets and textured from south winds and mushed. South Orange County's best summertime breaks had sets at waist to maybe chest high and weakly lined up with decent form but a bit textured early. North San Diego had sets waves at waist high and lined up and clean but soft and weak. Hawaii's North Shore was flat and clean. The South Shore had some little waves at waist high or so and lined up and clean but with east sideshore warble running through it. The East Shore was getting short period windswell with waves chest high and chopped from moderate easterly trades.

See QuikCASTs for the 5 day surf overview or read below for the detailed view.

Meteorological Overview
On Thursday (7/20) California and Hawaii were getting no swell of interest. After that another system formed southeast of New Zealand tracking east Thurs-Fri (7/16) producing up to 31 ft seas aimed northeast. Tiny swell is radiating towards Hawaii and the US West Coast. And another system formed behind that in the deep Southeast Pacific on Mon-Tues (7/20) with 33 ft seas aimed east. So perhaps a bit more small swell is to appear for CA after a little break. Beyond the model have completely backtracked and now indicate no meaningful swell producing weather systems forecast in the South Pacific for the foreseeable future. The surf is going to get real quiet.

South Pacific

Overview
Jetstream
On Thursday (7/22) the influential southern branch of the jet was in a zonal pattern running west to east down at 58-60S just north of the Ross Ice Shelf tracking east to the far Southeast Pacific with no troughs indicated offering no support for gale development. Over the next 72 hours more of the same is forecast until later Sat (7/24) when the jet is to start lifting northeast over the Central South Pacific form a weak trough being fed by 120 kt offering some support for gale development. Beyond 72 hours that trough is to continue lifting further north while tracking east to the Southeast Pacific before finally fading late Mon (7/26) with support for gale development fading. Also on Sun (7/25) a solid ridge is to start building under New Zealand pushing into Antarctica on Mon (7/26) then sweeping east filling the South Pacific on Tues (7/27) and only building into Thurs (7/29) totally shutting down support for gale development.

Surface Analysis
On Thursday (7/22) southern hemi swell was all but gone in Hawaii and California. Swell from another weak gale that formed southeast of New Zealand is in the water pushing northeast and expected to arrive in Hawaii today (see Another New Zealand Gale below). Another small swell was radiating north towards California from a gale previously in the Deep Southeast Pacific (see Deep Southeast Pacific Gale below).

Over the next 72 hours no swell producing weather systems are forecast.

 

Another New Zealand Gale
A gale developed southeast of New Zealand on Wed PM (7/14) producing 40 kt south winds and seas building from 24 ft at 52.75S 173.5E aimed northeast. The gale built on Thurs AM (7/15) in strength and coverage with 45-50 kt south winds and seas building to 29 ft at 56.75S 176.25W aimed northeast. The gale was fading in the evening with a solid area of 35-40 kts southwest winds and seas 31 ft at 54.5S 168.75W aimed northeast. On Fri AM (7/16) the gale was tracking east and being stretched northeast with 35-40 kts southwest winds over a larger area and seas 30 ft at 52S 159.25W aimed northeast. In the evening fetch was fading from 30-35 kts and stretching well northeast with seas from the original fetch fading from 29 ft at 52.75S 151.25W aimed well northeast. On Sat AM (7/17) the gale dissipated.

Oahu: Expect swell arrival on Thurs (7/22) building to 0.9 ft @ 17 secs later (1.5 ft). Swell holding on Fri (7/23) at 0.8 ft @ 15-16 secs early (1.0-1.5 ft). Dribbles fading on Sat (7/24). Swell Direction: 188 degrees

Southern CA: Expect swell arrival later on Sat (7/24) building to 1.3 ft @ 18 secs later (2.0-2.5 ft). Swell building on Sun (7/25) at 1.7 ft @ 16-17 secs early (2.5-3.0 ft). Swell continues on Mon (7/26) at 2.1 ft @ 14-15 secs early (3.0 ft). Dribbles fading on Tues (7/27) at 2.0 ft @ 13-14 secs (2.5 ft). Swell Direction: 196-201 degrees

North CA: Expect swell arrival later on Sat (7/24) building to 1.0 ft @ 18-19 secs later (1.5-2.0 ft). Swell building on Sun (7/25) at 1.6 ft @ 16-17 secs early (2.5 ft). Swell continues on Mon (7/26) at 2.0 ft @ 15 secs (3.0 ft). Dribbles fading on Tues (7/27) at 2.0 ft @ 13-14 secs (2.5 ft). Swell Direction: 195-200 degrees

 

Deep Southeast Pacific Gale
another gale started developing over the deep South Central Pacific on Mon AM (7/19) producing 40-45 kt west winds and seas 30 ft at 59.75S 144.75W aimed east. In the evening 40-45 kts west winds tracked east with 33 ft seas at 60.75S 137W aimed east. Fetch is to be fading from 35 kts on Tues AM (7/20) aimed northeast with seas fading from 32 ft at 57.25S 128.75 aimed east. The gael is to dissipate after that. Small swell is radiating towards mainly Central and South America with sideband energy tracking towards California.

Southern California: Expect swell arrival on Wed (7/28) building to 0.8 ft @ 17 secs mid-day (1.0-1.5 ft). Swell steady on Thurs (7/29) at 0.8 ft @ 15-16 secs early (1.0 ft). Swell dissipating after that (below 1 ft). Swell Direction: 185-195 degrees.

North CA: Expect swell arrival on Thurs (7/29) building to 0.9 ft @ 16 secs mid-day (1.0-1.5 ft). Swell steady on Fri (7/30) at 0.9 ft @ 14-15 secs early (1.0-1.5 ft). Swell dissipating after that (below 1 ft). Swell Direction: 185-190 degrees.

MJO/ENSO Forecast

 

Cooling Waters Trying to Take Over Equator
Summary - 3 Kevin Waves were all but done erupting over the East Equatorial Pacific. Water temps are fading. The forecast suggests east anomalies taking over the equatorial Pacific east of the dateline, with west anomalies trying to fill the KWGA starting in Oct. Still a high pressure bias is forecast to control the KWGA this Fall. Blocking high pressure is starting to rebuild and is to hold through Winter 2021-2022.

MJO/ENSO Discussion
The Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a periodic weather cycle that tracks east along the equator circumnavigating the globe. It is characterized in it's Inactive Phase by enhanced trade winds and dry weather over the part of the equator it is in control of, and in it's Active Phase by slackening if not an outright reversing trade winds while enhancing precipitation. The oscillation occurs in roughly 20-30 day cycles (Inactive for 20-30 days, then Active for 20-30 days) over any single location on the planet, though most noticeable in the Pacific. During the Active Phase in the Pacific the MJO tends to support the formation of stronger and longer lasting gales resulting in enhanced potential for the formation of swell producing storms. Prolonged and consecutive Active MJO Phases in the Pacific help support the formation of El Nino. During the Inactive Phase the jet stream tends to split resulting in high pressure and less potential for swell producing storm development. Wind anomalies in the Kelvin Wave Generation Area (KWGA) are key for understanding what Phase the MJO is in over the Pacific. The KWGA is located on the equator from 135E-170W and 5 degs north and south (or on the equator from New Guinea east to the dateline). West wind anomalies in the KWGA suggest the Active Phase of the MJO in the Pacific, and east anomalies suggests the Inactive Phase. In turn the Active Phase strengthens and the Inactive Phase weakens the jetstream, which in turn enhances or dampens storm production respectively in the Pacific.And the El Nino/La Nino cycle (collectively know as ENSO - El Nino Southern Oscillation) is a less frequent (about once every 7 years) but more impactful cycle that affects world wide weather. Specifically, strong El Nino events promote storm production in the Pacific while La Nina events suppress storm production. These therefore have a significant impact on the production of swell and surf. The paragraphs below analyze the state of the MJO and ENSO in the Pacific and provide forecasts for upcoming activity (or inactivity depending on the state and interaction of these two oscillations).

Overview: In 2019 warm equatorial waters were fading, and by August a tongue of cool water was tracking west on the equator from Ecuador over the Galapagos reaching to a point nearly south of Hawaii. A bit of a recovery tried to occur during Fall of 2019, with weak warm water building in the Nino 1.2 region, but cool water held in a pool off Peru. By April 2020 a cool pool was starting to build, forming a well defined cool tongue that evolved into La Nina, with it fully developing through July 2020. A slow dissolving of La Nina started in March 2021 with 2 Kelvin Waves sweeping east and arriving over the Galapagos in June. Weak warming set up over the equator with no cool waters present. NOAA declared La Nina dead.

LONG-RANGE PACIFIC STORM AND SWELL GENERATION POTENTIAL FORECAST

Spring/Summer 2021 = 4.0/3.5 (California & Hawaii) Rating based on a 1-10 scale: 1 being the lowest (small and infrequent surf conditions), 5 being normal/average, and 10 being extraordinary (frequent events of large, long period swells)

Rationale: It is assumed that the moderate La Nina from the Winter of 2020/2021 is on the wane and that a return to neutral ENSO state will set up over the Pacific Basin through the summer of 2021. But lingering effects of La Nina are forecast to continue over the Pacific for some time as the upper atmospheric circulation slowly transitions to an ENSO neutral state. This scenario tend to favor the Southeast Pacific, therefore favoring California over Hawaii. To counter that is the forecasted movement of the low pressure bias currently in-flight from the Maritime Continent to the West Pacific over the next 3 months. Still it will take some time for the atmosphere to fully respond, resulting in a slightly less than normal swell production forecast. A somewhat reduced number of storm days and storm intensity is expected as compared to normal over the South Pacific during the early summer season, resulting in a below normal level of swells, with swell being below normal duration and period. But by the Fall and early Winter of 2021/22, the number of storm days, intensity and duration of those storms should start improving as La Nina fades out. The status of the PDO is not known, though it appears to be returning to at least a neutral state, rather than the warm phase as previously projected thereby having no significant positive or negative effect on the long term outlook.

KWGA/Equatorial Surface Wind Analysis (KWGA - Kelvin Wave Generation Area - The area 5 degrees north and south of the equator from 170W to 135E)
Analysis (TAO Buoys): As of (7/19) 5 day average winds were strong from the east over the Eastern equatorial Pacific then strong east over the Central Pacific and moderate to strong over the KWGA. Anomalies were modest east over the East equatorial Pacific and modest east over the Central Pacific and modest east over the KWGA. (Note: These are 5 day average winds, versus realtime, so they lag what is happening today (by about 2.5 days).
1 Week Forecast (GFS Model): On (7/22) modest east anomalies were over the dateline with weak west anomalies over the western KWGA and then again from a point south of Hawaii into Ecuador. The forecast calls for no real change until 7/26 when east anomalies are take over the entire KWGA reaching east to a point south of California and holding through the end of the model run on 7/29.

Kelvin Wave Generation Area wind monitoring model: West and East

MJO/WWB/Wind Projections:  
OLR Models: (7/21) The Active MJO was indicated over the KWGA today. The statistic model projects the Active Pattern weakening some on day 5 fading and almost gone on day 10 of the model run and then gone on day 15 of the model run. The dynamic model projects the same but with the Active Phase fading slower and still barely hanging on at day 15 of the model run.
Phase Diagrams 2 week forecast (ECMF and GEFS): (7/22) The statistical model depicts the Active Phase was modest over the far West Pacific at modest strength forecast tracking steadily east into he Atlantic and weak to very weak. The dynamic model suggests the same thing but with the Active Phase making it only to the core of the West Pacific and at very weak status.
40 day Upper Level Model (assumed to be a statistical mode and 1 week ahead of what is occurring at the surface): (7/19) A solid Inactive Phase (dry air) was indicated over the far East Pacific with a moderate Active Phase (wet air) developing over the far West KWGA. The Inactive Phase (dry air) is to push east moving into Central America on 7/24. The Active Phase is to be building over the KWGA on 7/24 and fairly cohesive moving to the East Pacific and then over Central America on 8/18. The Inactive Phase (dry air) is to be moving over the KWGA at the end of the model run on 8/28.
4 Week CFS Model (850 mb wind): (7/21) This model depicts an Active MJO signal was building over the west KWGA today with modest east anomalies over the same area and modest east anomalies from the mid-KWGA eastward into Ecuador. The forecast indicates the Active MJO signal is to move through the KWGA through 8/6 with west anomalies in the KWGA during that window. East anomalies are to rebuilding in the core of the KWGA at modest status 8/2 holding through the end of the model run on 8/18.
3 Month CFS Model (850 mb wind): (7/22 - using the 4th/latest ensemble member): Today a weak Active Phase of the MJO was building over the KWGA with west anomalies filling 75% of the KWGA. The forecast indicates the Active Phase is to progress east across the KWGA with weak west anomalies moving west to east over the KWGA until the Active Phase fades on 8/8. A short lived Inactive Phase is to set up 8/5-8/25 with east anomalies taking over the KWGA. A broader Active Phase is to develop while slowly pushing east 8/17-10/13 with west anomalies reaching east to about 170E (3/4ths of the way across the KWGA) eventually filling it after 9/26. A weak Inactive MJO pattern is to follow starting 10/1 tracking east through the end of the model run on 10/19 but with west anomalies holding while filling the KWGA. The low pass filter indicates a high pressure bias is in control over the far East Pacific (with one contour line) and the low pressure bias over the West KWGA filling the western 2/3rds of it to 150E while slowly retrograding west. The high pressure contour line is to slowly fade then back-build west at 170E and not moving any further west at the end of the model run. The single contour low pressure bias is to dissipate on 8/14 then rebuild 8/31 becoming recentered over the Maritime Continent like last winter. This suggest a return to some flavor of a weak La Nina pressure pattern by September with east anomalies and high a pressure bias taking over from the dateline and points east of there. This forecast has been stable for over a month now suggesting it will actually happen.

Subsurface Waters Temps
TAO Array: (7/22) Today in the far West Pacific the 29 degree isotherm was retrograding west to 173E. The 28 deg isotherm line was retrograding from 168W. The 24 deg isotherm was retrograding west reaching only to 105W today. Anomaly wise, warm anomalies +0-1 deg C were crossing the equatorial Pacific in a thin stream from 10-150 meters down, Cool anomalies at -2 degs where building subsurface below the warm stream over the entire equatorial Pacific. This indicates a weak but fading Kelvin Wave was tracking east. The hi-res GODAS animation posted 7/17 indicates the existing Kelvin Wave was even weaker and barely defined from the dateline to 100W. And pockets of cool water were below the warm water. The GODAS animation appears to be 1 week behind the TAO data but also is more detailed and accurately modeled.
Sea Level Anomalies: (7/17) Sea heights were falling over the equator with readings 0 to +5 cms mainly west of the dateline, and a broad and building pocket of negative anomalies at -5 to -10 cms over the East equatorial Pacific between 95W-150W on the equator. La Nina is trying to make a weak return with no clear large scale warming occurring. A neutral pattern was established.

Surface Water Temps
The more warm water in the equatorial East Pacific means more storm production in the North Pacific during winter months (roughly speaking). Cold water in that area has a dampening effect. Regardless of what the atmospheric models and surface winds suggest, actual water temperatures are a ground-truth indicator of what is occurring in the ocean. All data is from blended infrared and microwave sensors.
Satellite Imagery
Hi-res Nino1.2 & 3.4 Qualitative Analysis: (7/21) The latest images depict contiguous warm water on the equator mainly from Ecuador west to a point a bit west of the Galapagos (105W), then only in pockets from there west to 140W. Neutral temps were west of there. Pockets of cool water were building between the warm pockets from 105-140W. A area of weak warming was along Chile and Peru. A more cohesive pocket of warm water was along Central America up to Southern Baja. Overall this seems to indicate the late stages of La Nina.
Hi-res 7 day Trend (7/21): A mix of warm and cold pockets were over the area from Ecuador to 145W. They were equally balanced.
Hi-res Overview: (7/21) A broad area of warmer than normal water was along Peru, Ecuador and Central America up into Mexico. But cooler waters were on the equator from 110W to the dateline. A clear cool outflow was still pushing from California southwest to the a point south of Hawaii. La Nina appears to be in retreat but not gone.
Nino1.2 Daily CDAS Index Temps: (7/22) Today's temps were rising slightly at +0.060 after falling to -0.411 on 7/8. Temps previously peaked at +0.213 on 6/17, the highest since 3/16 when they briefly hit +0.714 degs. But in between they've been in the -0.75 range. The longterm trend has been stable and mostly below normal.
Nino 3.4 Daily CDAS Index Temps: (7/22) Today temps continued falling hard down to -0.112. Temps peaked at +0.332 on 7/1, the highest in a year. They previously peaked at +0.224 on 6/15. Previously they peaked at +0.085 on (6/1), beating the previous peak high of +0.040 on 5/3. Temps previously had been steady near -0.222 since early March. Temps bottomed out at -1.654 on 11/3. Temps have been on a steadily increasing trend.

CFSV2 Forecast for Nino3.4 Sea Surface Temp (SST) Anomalies & Current SST Anomalies

SST Anomaly Projections
CFSv2 Uncorrected Data (7/20) - Actuals per the model indicate temps have been rising since early Nov 2020 when they bottomed out at -1.25 degs, building to -0.01 degs in mid-June holding to mid-July. The forecast indicates a steady fall in temperatures from 7/15 forward dropping to -0.95 degs in mid-Oct. A slow but steady increase is forecast from there reaching -0.70 degs mid-Jan then starting a quicker rise to -0.05 degs in mid April 2022. This model suggests a return of La Nina conditions this Fall and Winter. There is no indication that El Nino will develop. The PDF Corrected forecast suggests temp falling only to -0.75 degs later in Oct into early Jan 2022.
IRI Consensus Plume: The June 20, 2021 Plume depicts temps are at -0.10 degs today, and are to fade slowly -0.30 degrees in Sept and stabilizing there into December, then rising to +0.10 in later Jan 2022. Most models are suggesting we are nearly normal now and are to hold there into the early months of 2022.

Atmospheric Coupling (Indicating the presence of El Nino in the atmosphere driven by the ocean):
Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) (negative is good, positive bad - this is a lagging indicator) (7/22): The daily index was still positive at +16.50 after peaking at +37.86 on 7/15. The Inactive Phase was solid. The 30 day average was rising steadily to +14.43 after falling to -3.36 on 6/22, the lowest in a year and beating the previous low on 6/14 of -2.08. It peaked at +19.51 on 1/14. The 90 day average was rising slightly at +5.81 after falling to it's lowest point in a year on 6/9 at +1.06. The 90 day average peaked at +15.75 on 2/23 (clearly indicative of La Nina then). This index is a lagging indicator.

Pacific Decadal Oscillation
The PDO theoretically turned from a 16 year negative run (Jan 98-Feb 2014) in early 2014 and was positive till Dec 2019, but has been negative every since, driven by recent La Nina conditions. As of May 2021 it was the most negative its been at -2.04 since Sept 2012. Looking at the long term record, it is premature to conclude that we have in-fact turned from the negative phase (La Nina 'like') to the positive phase (El Nino 'like'). It is more likely we are still in the cool phase of the PDO.
