PACIFIC OVERVIEW
Current Conditions
On Friday (6/2) North and Central CA had sets at waist to chest high and somewhat warbled but not chopped. Protected breaks were waist to chest high and fairly lined up and nearly clean but soft. At Santa Cruz surf was waist to occasionally chest high and clean and lined up but soft and weak. In Southern California/Ventura waves were thigh high and weakly lined up and soft and mushed with a fair amount of northwest wind and warble intermixed. Central Orange County had sets at waist to near chest high and lined up from the south and real clean but soft with a light northwest flow early. South Orange County's best summertime breaks had sets at maybe chest high and lined up with decent form but crumbled and a warbled mess early. North San Diego had sets at waist to chest high and lined up and pretty clean but soft. Hawaii's North Shore was flat and textured from northeast winds early. The South Shore was still getting some background swell with waves occasionally waist high and lined up and real clean with good form but soft. The East Shore was knee high and lightly chopped from modest east trades.

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

Meteorological Overview
On Friday (6/2) California and HAwaii were getting no real swell of interest though there was some rideable leftovers of previous swell in the water. A small gale (the 6th in a series) developed again on the far eastern edge of the Southern CA swell window on Sun (5/28) producing 32 ft seas aimed swell north. That swell to arrive on Sat (6/30. And another small gale (the 7th) developed south of it on Sun-Mon (5/29) producing 27-30 ft seas aimed northeast and then pulsed again while holding stationary on the eastern edge of the CA swell window Tues-Wed (5/31) producing 26-27 ft seas aimed north. Swell arrival on Tues (6/6). After that a gale is to possible develop in the deep Southwest Pacific tracking northeast Wed-Thurs (6/8) producing 31 ft seas aimed northeast. And possible the extratropical remnants of typhoon Mawar to redevelop over the North Dateline region Mon (6/5) producing up to 25 ft seas aimed east, Odds very low of that though. So maybe there's some hope.

SHORT- TERM FORECAST
Current marine weather and wave analysis plus forecast conditions for the next 72 hours

North Pacific

Overview
Surface Analysis
On Friday (6/2) no meaningful swell of interest was hitting Hawaii or California generated from the Northern Hemisphere.

Over the next 72 hours starting Sun PM (6/4) the remnants of what was Typhoon Mawar are theoretically to be recurving northeast off Taiwan and half way to the dateline with winds building to 35 kts and seas building from 25 ft at 47.5N 168.75E aimed east. On Mon AM (6/5) northwest winds to fade from 30 kts over the dateline with seas 23 ft at 47.5N 176.75E aimed east. In the evening fetch to fade from barely 30 kts just east of the dateline with seas 20 ft at 49.5N 176.25W aimed east. The gale to fade quickly from there. Very low odds of this developing.

Tropical Update
What was Typhoon Mawar is currently tracking fast northeast positioned just south of Japan at tropical storm status with winds 45 kts. It previously had sustained winds to 180 kts just west of Guam days ago (very strong). The GFS model is suggesting some development as remnants of this system approach the dateline (see Longterm Forecast below).

Otherwise no tropical systems of interest are being monitored at this time.

California Nearshore Forecast

Total snow accumulation for the next 10 days respectively for Squaw Valley, Sugar Bowl, Kirkwood and Mammoth are projected at 0, 0, 0, and 0.3 inchs (on 6/6).

Freezing level is 12,000 ft today and is to hold steady through 6/5, then falling to 11.000 ft and holding through 6/10, then back up to 12,500 ft if not higher beyond. Steady snow melt to continue at elevation.

South Pacific

Overview
Jetstream
On Friday (6/2) the jetstream was heavily split over the Southwest Pacific with the southern branch ridging south down into Antarctica offering no support for gale development over the bulk of the South Pacific except off of Patagonia where the jet was lifting north forming a trough but well east of the Southern CA swell window. Over the next 72 hours that ridge is to push east an dissipate later Sat (6/3) with a new batch of wind energy starting to build under New Zealand at 150 kts but down at 66S and all over Antarctic Ice and pushing east offering no support for gale development. Just another ridge. Beyond 72 hours starting Wed (6/7) another pocket of wind energy is to build under New Zealand at 130-140 kts but this time lifting northeast forming a trough offering decent support for gale development and continuing northeast into Friday (6/9). Some hope here. But over the Southeast Pacific starting Thurs (6/8) a ridge is to be pushing south shutting down what was a prolific window for gale production over the Southeast Pacific.

Surface Analysis
Swell from what was a 6th tiny gale in a series over the Southeast Pacific was is radiating north (see 6th Southeast Pacific Gale below).

Over the next 72 hours another swell from a gale previously in the Southeast Pacific is to be radiating northeast as well (see 7th Southeast Pacific Gale below).

6th Southeast Pacific Gale
On Sat PM (5/27) a gale developed in the upper reaches of the far Southeast Pacific producing south winds at 45-50 kts over a small area aimed north with seas building from 30 ft over a tiny area at 36S 122W aimed northeast. On Sun AM (5/28) south winds were 45-50 kts over a small area aimed north with seas 32 ft at 35S 118W aimed north targeting Southern CA and Central and South America. By evening the gael was well east of the Southern Ca swell window targeting only Peru up into Central America with 35 ft seas at 36S 110.5W.

Southern CA: Expect swell arrival on Sat (6/3) building to 2.1 ft @ 16 secs mid-day (3.0 ft). Swell continues on Sun (6/4) at 2.4 ft @ 14 secs (3.0-3.5 ft). Swell fading Mon (6/5) from 2.4 ft @ 13-14 secs (3.0 ft). Swell Direction: 190 degrees

North CA: Expect swell arrival on Sun (6/4) at 2.2 ft @ 15 secs early (3.0-3.5 ft) and 2.4 ft @ 14-15 secs later (3.5 ft). Swell continues on Mon (6/5) at 2.4 ft @ 13014 secs (3.0 ft). Swell fading Mon (6/5) from 2.2 ft @ 13 secs (2.5-3.0 ft). Swell Direction: 187 degrees

7th Southeast Pacific Gale
On Sun PM (5/28) a gale started developing in the deep Southeast Pacific producing 35-40 kt south winds and seas 26 ft at 55S 136W aimed northeast. On Mon AM (5/29) south winds were fading from 40 kts over a small area aimed north with seas 27-28 ft at 55S 127W aimed north-northeast. In the evening south winds continued at 40 kts while easing slowly east with 27 ft seas at 54.5S 124W aimed north. South winds lifted north on Tues AM (5/30) at 35-40 kts with seas 27 ft over a small area at 52.25S 123S aimed northeast. In the evening south-southwest winds were 35+ kts with seas 27 ft at 49S 123W aimed north. On Wed AM (5/31) southwest winds were 35 kts moving east of the Southern CA swell window with 28 ft seas at 43.5S 115.5W aimed north-northeast and moving east of the SCal swell window. Additional fetch and seas are forecast but all aimed northeast at Chile, Peru and Central America. Something to monitor.

Southern CA: Expect swell arrival on Tues (6/6) building to 2.2 ft @ 15-16 secs later (3.0-3.5 ft). Swell builds Wed AM (6/7) to 2.8 ft @ 16 secs (4.0-4.5 ft) and holding. Swell continues on Thurs (6/8) at 2.9 ft @ 15 secs early (4.0-4.5 ft) then starting to fade. On Fri (6/9) swell is to be dropping from 2.4 ft @ 13-14 secs (3.0 ft). Dribbles on Sat (6/10) fading from 2.0 ft @ 12-13 secs early (2.5 ft). Swell Direction: 187 degrees

MJO/ENSO Forecast

El Nino Building in the Ocean and Trying to Couple with the Atmosphere
Kelvin Wave #4 Poised to Erupt - Kelvin Wave #5 Developing in the West - Active MJO #6 Finishing Up
NINO3.4 In El Nino Territory and Rising While Expanding Fast
1 Kelvin Wave traversed the Pacific in Dec '22 with a 2nd in Jan-Feb and a 3rd and 4th in March-April and a 5th developing now. And Westerly Winds are fully established filling the KWGA. Sea Surface Temperatures continue warming. The last link in the chain is to see the SOI falling deep into negative territory which it appears it is doing. The atmosphere is starting to become coupled with the ocean. The outlook is optimistic.

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. That basically continued until late Fall 2022 when trades started fading and by early 2023 multiple Kelvin Waves were in flight with significant warming developing over the East Equatorial Pacific. La Nina was dead on 3/18/2023 with El Nino apparently developing.

Rationale: A 3 year La Nina started fading in Jan 2023 and was gone by April. 3 Active MJO's produced 3 Kelvin Waves with the 3rd in that series poised to start erupting off Ecuador now (May 2023). The CFS model is predicting steady west anomalies from here forward and the leading edge of the low pressure bias on the dateline and forecast to nearly fill the Pacific during June. We are in a state of transition from ENSO neutral to El Nino during the summer of 2023. As a result we will be moving from a period of reduced number of storm days and storm intensity during the early part of Summer towards a period of enhanced storm production starting Late July and beyond, getting fairly intense come Fall. This should result in a slightly below normal level of swells, with swells being below normal duration and period over early Summer. But by late July 2023, the number of storm days, intensity and duration of those storms should start improving as El Nino starts getting a solid footprint on the atmosphere. The net result is we're currently thinking a near normal number of swells with normal size and duration is to result, but all focused sometime after late July 2023. The swell pattern will be normal to somewhat below normal before July and above normal after July 23. And By Sept, the El Nino footprint should be solid. Of course this is all highly speculative at this early and based mostly on the CFS model and it's projection of a building ENSO footprint getting solid by Sept.

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 (6/1) 5 day average winds were moderate to strong from the east over the East equatorial Pacific and moderate east over the Central Pacific and modest to weak east over the KWGA. Anomalies were neutral to modest west over the East equatorial Pacific and weak west over the Central Pacific and modest west over the KWGA. Westerly anomalies have been moderate to strong the past 9 days in the KWGA. (Note: These are 5 day average winds, versus realtime, so they lag what is happening today (by about 2.5 days).
2 Week Forecast (GFS Model): (6/2) Weak west anomalies were filling the KWGA with the core at 150E. West anomalies are to start fading and gone by 6/5 with weak east anomalies starting to take over the KWGA and building to moderate strength on the dateline by 6/10 holding and easing east through 6/15 and then almost gone by the end of the model run on 6/18. It looks like the Active Phase of the MJO is fading after being strong and producing a westerly wind burst (WWB) 5/14-5/28 with the Inactive Phase now setting up.

Subsurface Waters Temps
TAO Array: (6/2) Today in the far West Pacific the leading edge of the 30 deg isotherm was present and steady at 170E with the 29 degree isotherm easing east to 168W (previously 176W). The 28 deg isotherm line was running east to 117W but previously into Ecuador. The 26 degree isotherm has pushed the whole way across the Pacific and getting deeper. Anomaly wise, warm anomalies at +2 deg C were in a river traversing the Pacific with no breaks, A building pocket of +3 degree anomalies was building in the west (Kelvin Wave #5) and 3-5 degs anomalies were in the far East Pacific starting at 130W. Amazing. The hi-res GODAS animation posted 5/28 indicates a huge very warm stream of +2-3 degs anomalies extending from the far West Pacific and building while tracking east and then upwards from there over the far East Pacific with +4-5 degs anomalies from Kelvin Wave #3-4 erupting there into Ecuador. And another pocket of warming waters were in the far West Pacific at 125E at +3 degs. No cool anomalies were indicated. El Nino is developing. The GODAS animation is 1 week behind the TAO data but also is more detailed and accurately depicted since its satellite based.
Sea Level Anomalies: (5/28) Sea heights were positive across the equatorial Pacific at +5 cms solid in the west to the dateline connected to the East Pacific at +5 cms with a pocket of +10-15 cms in the east extending north into Central America and south to Chile. This means no cool water was at depth. Per the Upper Ocean Heat Anomaly Histogram warm water continues building in intensity and coverage at +1.00-1.50 degs over the West Pacific with +0.5 degree anomalies from the dateline to 125W connected to a second hot pocket starting at 127W at at +1.0-1.5 degs reaching east to Ecuador.

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: (6/1) The latest images depict a strong warm signal persisting along the coasts of Peru and Ecuador with lesser heat extending up Mexico reaching the tip of Baja with a building tongue extending west over the Galapagos continuing along the equator reaching to 155W now (previously 145W - results of Kelvin Wave #1). Warm temps continued west from there on the equator across the dateline and beyond. This is a clear El Nino signal. And warmer than normal temps were present well off the coasts of Chile and Peru. The classic El Nino triangle was developing. The last remnants of La Nina are gone on the equator but remnants are still evident along the California and Baja coast with cold temps and the normal Springtime upwelling pattern in control there and likely be reinforced over the next week.
Hi-res 7 day Trend (6/1): There was weak warming from Ecuador in a thin line west to 100W and then weaker from 110W across the entire equatorial Pacific. It's not surprising there's no clear warming signal because temps are already so warm they can't get much warmer. A neutral trend was along the coasts of Chile and Peru. The pattern of adding energy to the warm surface pool is stable. A warming trend had been well entrenched over the East Pacific since Nov 1 with no cooling waters over the equatorial East Pacific since 12/15 except for the time frame from 4/23 to today.
Hi-res Overview: (6/1) Warmer than normal waters are filling the East Pacific off Chile, Peru, Ecuador and north up to Mexico with strong warming in a few pockets along the immediate cost of Peru and Ecuador. And the classic El Nino tongue of more intense warming is building considerably over the equator west to 155W and from there to the dateline and beyond. No cool waters were on the equator anymore. There no sign of La Nina on the oceans surface and everything is now looking like El Nino. The east equatorial Pacific is steadily warming.
Nino1.2 Daily CDAS Index Temps: (6/2) (These temps are biased high by about 0.2 degs compared to official sources). Today's temps are steady at +2.040 but have been up in the at +2.0 to +3.0 degs range since 4/1 having previously peaked at +2.891 (4/13). Previously temps reached +2.302 degrees on 4/6, +1.732 degs (3/22), up from +0.462 since 2/28. Temps had reached as high as +1.076 on 2/19 and were previously steady at +0.848 since 2/7. Previously they started steadily rising 11/13 when they were around -1.5 degs C.
Nino 3.4 Daily CDAS Index Temps: (6/2) (These temps are biased high by about 0.2 degs). Today temps are rising to +0.650. We are now 5 days into a trend of being above the El Nino threshold (for the 2nd time), Temps reached the El Nino threshold for the first time on 5/17 at +0.507 then quickly fell over the next 10 days down to +0.378 (5/26). Previous peaks of +0.318 on 4/30 besting the previous peak at +0.199 on 4/21. Temps have been steadily increasing hitting 0.0 on 4/12 and were then more or less steady the previous 4 weeks. Temps previously rose to -0.402 on 2/23. Temps rose above the La Nina threshold (-0.5 degs) on 2/22 and had been rising slowly since 2/12 when they were about -1.0 degs C. They had been in the -1.0 deg range since at least Nov 2022.

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

SST Anomaly Projections
CFSv2 Data (Nino3.4 Region)
Previous - Temps rose in early Nov 2020 after bottoming out at -1.25 degs, up to -0.01 degs in mid-June 2021 then fading to -1.05 degs in mid-Nov then rebuilding to -0.7 in mid Feb 2022 then fading to -1.1 degs in May before starting an upward climb peaking in mid-June at -0.65 degs and mid July at -0.55 degs. A steady decline set in after that falling to -1.00 degs in Aug and Sept rising to -0.8 degs mid Oct then falling to -1.0 in Nov but then slowly rising to -0.75 degs in Jan 2023 and up to -0.5 degs (above the La Nina threshold) on 2/12. Temps were +0.45 degs today.
Forecast (6/2) - Temps are slowly climbing above ENSO neutral at +0.5 degs and are forecast rising to +1.45 degs in July and +2.15 degs in Nov and solidly into El Nino territory. The PDF Corrected forecast suggests temps are forecast rising to +1.10 degs in July and +1.75 degs in Nov/Dec. According to this version of the model we are building into El Nino through the Summer.
IRI Consensus Plume: The May 19, 2023 Plume depicts temps are +0.761 degs today and it's the third month above the La Nina threshold. Temps to rise steadily from here forward to +1.153 in July and up to +1.269 degrees in Aug/Sept then fading from there. The dynamic model suggest temps peaking at +1.672 in Oct. The CFS model is on the upper range of all models. This model suggests were are transitioning to El Nino.

Atmospheric Coupling (Indicating the presence of El Nino in the atmosphere driven by the ocean):
Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) (negative is good, positive bad - all but the Daily Index was a lagging indicator):
Today (6/2) the Daily Index was negative at -17.93 and has been negative the last 24 days with a peak down to -29.32 on 5/31, -64.63 on 5/24 and -31.31 on 5/12. Previously readings were toggling between +10 and -10 for 13 days, but negative the 15 days previous to that, positive the 6 days prior to that after being mostly negative 25 days before that. It fell to -19.40 on 4/2. -17.44 on 2/22, the beginning of a change from which no return seemed likely. It was up to +21.85 on 2/10 and +55.74 on 12/22 and were in the +20 range the previous 22 days.
The 30 day average was falling at -17.41 and the most negative in years. It previously had been falling to -4.13 on 4/4 (lagging indicator driven by the Active Phase of the MJO) after falling to -0.52 on 3/22 previously falling to +4.18 on 11/27 and peaking at +21.57 (10/16) after supposedly peaking at +19.66 on 9/28. It was down to +6.89 on 7/29. It peaked at +20.34 (5/12) the highest in a year and beating last years high of +19.51 (1/14).
The 90 day average was falling at -7.05 and turned negative the first time in years on 5/12. It previously peaked at +14.63 on 2/20, +15.61 on 10/25 and +12.92 on 8/11 and that after peaking at +18.40 (7/2) beating it's previous peak of +16.86 (5/31), the highest in a year. It previously peaked at +9.80 (9/21) after falling to it's lowest point in a year at +1.06 (6/9). The 90 day average peaked at +15.75 (2/23/21 - clearly indicative of La Nina then). This index is a lagging indicator but suggests that the Active Phase occurring now is starting to drive the index down, hopefully with no upward trend in sight for at least a year.

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 ever since, driven by recent La Nina conditions. In May-July 2021 it was the most negative its been in the -1.80 to -2.04 range since Sept 2012 (-2.99) and then fell to -3.16 in Oct 2021 (the lowest since July 1933) then settled at -2.72 in Nov and Dec 2021. Looking at the long term record, it seems likely we are still in the Cool Phase of the PDO (La Nina 'like') with no signs of moving to the positive/warm phase (El Nino 'like').
