• Second half of June looking good

EXTENDED FORECAST: (Thursday, June 15th, and beyond)   
           
Swell/Surf: The South Pacific is firing back up with storm activity and looking to cook for the weekend and following week. And these storms are developing everywhere from under New Zealand to just offshore from South America. As a result, a series of good swells ranging from SW to South are stacking up for Central America for the second half of June.

For the SW Pacific; we just had a large/strong storm slide out from under New Zealand, and another one is projected to soon follow. For the SE Pacific; a smaller but still rather intense low is currently developing out to the west of Chile, with a larger/stronger storm projected to develop just off the southern tip of South America early next week. This southern tip storm is looking to setup a strong/well aimed fetch that may also push toward Central America, all good things to send a solid swell.

As a result, we're looking for a good size and consistent run of overlapping SW-South swells (ranging everywhere from 220-180°) to move in on the weekend of the 17th-18th, then hold fairly steady through the 21st. Many spots will be seeing at least head-overhead surf during this event, while standouts produce some well overhead sets. Occasional double overhead+ waves will show for select magnets. This run will gradually back down from the 22nd and thereafter. Stay tuned for the updates (Wed/Fri), as this event is still evolving.
