Breakdown:
Caribbean Coast - The Caribbean basin has been spawning some big tropical systems, but so far it hasn't pushed anything major towards the coast. This week starts out flat, but with another storm brewing and headed west, this one will push in some chest high short period surf with a few bigger sets by the weekend.
Pacific Coast - You get to rest a week and pull out the twin fin as the surf subsides to chest to head high from the Southwest for most of the week. By the weekend a few overhead sets pop up, but the real SSW doesn't arrive until next Tuesday.
The Long Shot - The first overhead sets arrive next Monday from the SSW and then increase a foot each day through Thursday (7/9) arriving more from the South. Then next Friday it starts dropping back down a foot daily for an overhead wave filled weekend.
* The forecast is made using over a decade of wave model and report analysis, but can't be accurate 100% of the time. To do your own, use our links. |
