PACIFIC OVERVIEW
Current Conditions
On Saturday (6/24) North and Central CA waves were thigh to waist high and heavily textured and soft but not chopped. Protected breaks were flat to knee high and mushed with westerly texture. At Santa Cruz surf was flat to knee high and clean. In Southern California/Ventura waves were thigh high and fairly clean and mushed with some intemixed texture with calm wind. Central Orange County had sets at up to waist high and crumbled and soft with texture and light northwest wind early. South Orange County's best summertime breaks had sets to barely waist high on the peak and lined up with decent form and clean but soft. North San Diego had sets at thigh high with luck and soft and clean. Oahu's North Shore was flat and clean. The South Shore had sets at 1 ft overhead and lined up with good form and clean. The East Shore was getting east windswell at head high and chopped from strong east trades.

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

Meteorological Overview
On Saturday (6/24) California was getting no swell of interest. Hawaii was starting to see sign of swell from a gale that developed in the upper reaches of the Central South Pacific Sat-Tues (6/20) producing 28-31 ft seas aimed north. Swell is propagating towards CA too. Beyond a tiny gale is forecast developing in the far Southeast Pacific Sun-Mon (6/26) producing 32 ft seas aimed north. And maybe another to follow on Mon-Tues (6/26) further south with 34 ft seas aimed north before moving east of the CA swell window. A possible real storm is projected for the Tasman Sea with a possible pattern change for the Southwest Pacific beyond

South Pacific

Overview
Jetstream
On Saturday (6/24) the jetstream was heavily split over the South Pacific with most energy in the northern branch with winds at 160 kts running east on the 30S latitude line across the width of the South Pacific impacting Southern Chile. The influential southern branch was weak running east on the 65S latitude line but with a trough pushing north over the Central South Pacific being fed by 120 kt winds starting to offering some support for gale development. Over the next 72 hours that trough is to quickly weaken and be of no interest by starting Sun (6/25). But a new trough is to start building over the deep Southeast Pacific on Mon (6/26) being fed by 130 kts winds offering good support for gale development and lifting north into Tues (6/27) while starting to move east of the Southern CA swell window and weakening. Beyond 72 hours Wed (6/28) a strong ridge is to start building over the South Pacific with winds 140 kts down at 70S and over Antarctic Ice offering no support for gale development and if anything falling further south into Antarctica into Sat (7/1). But a trough is forecast building up into the Tasman Sea on Fri-Sat (7/1) being fed by 120 kts winds offering some support for gale development and merging with the northern branch. Perhaps a pattern shift to result.

Surface Analysis
On Saturday (6/24) swell was starting to hit Hawaii originating from a gale previously in the upper reaches of the South Central Pacific (see South Central Pacific Gale below).

Over the next 72 hours a tiny gale is to be developing in the far Southeast Pacific on Sat PM (6/24) producing south winds at 35-40 kts with seas building from 24 ft. On Sun AM (6/25) south winds to build to 45-50 kts over a tiny area aimed north with seas 32 ft at 52.5S 131.5W aimed north. In the evening fetch is to be lifting north and fading from 40 kts over a tiny area with seas 31 ft at 47.25S 127.25W aimed north. On Mon AM (7/26) south fetch is to be 40 kts on the east edge of the Southern CA swell window with 26 ft seas fading at 41.75S 122W aimed north. In the evening all fetch and seas are to be east of the CA swell window. Something to monitor.

And on Mon AM (6/26) another small gale is forecast developing deep in the Southeast Pacific with 40 kt southwest winds and seas building from 27 ft at 60.75S 143.75W aimed northeast. In the evening fetch is to build while lifting northeast at 45 kts with seas 32 ft at 60S 132.5W. On Tues AM (6/27) the gale is to be lifting northeast with 40 kt southwest winds and seas building to 34 ft at 56S 126.5W aimed northeast. In the evening fetch is to be tracking northeast while fading from 30-35 kts with seas 28 ft at 51.5S 121.25W aimed northeast and on the edge of the Southern CA swell window. On Wed AM (6/28) fetch is to be fading from 30-35 kts from the southwest with seas 26 ft at 44.5S 120.25W aimed northeast. Something to monitor.

South Central Pacific Gale
A gale started developing over the upper reaches of the Central Pacific on Sat AM (6/17) producing a steady fetch of southeasterly winds at 35-40 kts with seas building some. In the evening southeast winds built to 40-45 kts with seas 27 ft at 44.75S 152.5W aimed north. On Sun AM (6/18) south to southeast winds were 35-40 kts with seas 31 ft at 42.75S 150.75W aimed north over a small area. In the evening south winds from the original fetch collapsed but a secondary fetch was developing with south winds 40+ kts over a tiny area and seas from the original fetch fading from 23 ft at 38N 148W aimed north. On Mon AM (6/19) fetch was rebuilding at 40-45 kts from the south with seas 25 ft at 50.75S 137W aimed north. In the evening south winds were 40-45 kts with seas 31 ft at 48.75S 139.75W aimed north. South fetch was fading Tues AM (6/20) from 35 kts and seas fading from 28 ft at 48S 143.5W aimed north. In the evening fetch is to be fading from 30-35 kts from the south with seas 25 ft at 40.5S 139W aimed north. Possible small swell for Hawaii and California.

Oahu: Expect swell arrival on Sat (6/24) building to 1.5 ft @ 15-16 secs late (2.0-2.5 ft). Swell building on Sun (6/25) to 1.7 ft @ 14-15 secs (2.0-2.5 ft) holding through the day.

North Pacific

Beyond 72 hours no swell producing weather systems of interest are forecast.

South Pacific

Beyond 72 hours a storm is forecast developing just south of Tasmania on Fri AM (6/30) producing 50-55 kt south winds and seas 44 ft at 48.75S 148.25E aimed northeast up into the Tasman Sea. In the evening south winds to be 40 kts over a large area aimed north in the Tasman Sea with seas 42 ft at 46S 154.25E aimed northeast. On Sat AM (7/1) south winds to continue at 35-40 kts over a huge area filling the Tasman Sea with 36 ft seas at 46.25S 158.75E aimed north. Fiji is to be a prime target with filtered energy for Hawaii beyond assuming the storm even forms. Something to monitor.

MJO/ENSO Forecast

El Nino Building at the Oceans Surface and Trying to Couple with the Atmosphere
Kelvin Wave #4 Poised to Erupt - Kelvin Wave #5 Developing in the West - Active MJO #6 Done Likely Producing Another Kelvin Wave
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 (6/23) 5 day average winds were strong from the east over the East equatorial Pacific and moderate east over the Central Pacific and calm over the KWGA. Anomalies were modest east over the East equatorial Pacific and modest west over the Central Pacific and modest west over 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): (6/24) Modest west anomalies were fading in the KWGA with east anomalies building over the dateline region and points east of there. Modest to moderate east anomalies are to hold through 6/27, then rapidly fade with a neutral to weak west wind anomaly pattern setting up over the KWGA and holding through the end of the model run on 7/10. This is what the CFS model has been predicting for weeks and the GFS is finally now picking up on it.

Subsurface Waters Temps
TAO Array: (6/24) Today in the far West Pacific the leading edge of the 30 deg isotherm was present and easing east to 176E (from 172E) with the 29 degree isotherm was easing east to 157W (previously 176W). The 28 deg isotherm line was steady at 120W (previously 112W). The 26 degree isotherm has pushed the whole way across the Pacific and getting deeper at 65 m down. Anomaly wise, warm anomalies at +2 deg C were in a river traversing the Pacific with a small break between 170E to 175W. A previous pocket of +3 degree anomalies that was in the west (Kelvin Wave #5) centered at 165W was now gone but with +3-7 degs anomalies over the East Pacific starting at 147W and back-building. +6 degree anomalies were from 112W into Ecuador. Amazing. The hi-res GODAS animation posted 6/17 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. A new Kelvin Wave was building on the dateline between 165E to 145W at +3-4 degs (Kelvin Wave #5) while another pocket of warming waters were in the West Pacific at 120E at +2 degs (Kelvin Wave #6). 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: (6/17) Sea heights were positive across the equatorial Pacific at +5 cms solid connected to a +10 cms pocket from 125W east into Ecuador. Positive anomalies extending north into Central America and south to Chile. This means no cool water was at depth. Per the Upper Ocean Heat Anomaly Histogram on 6/17 warm water continues building in intensity and coverage at +1.00-2.00 degs over the East Pacific from 170E and east of there. There's been no change since mid March, a steady flow of warm water pushing east.

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: (6/23) The latest images depict a strong warm signal along the coasts of Peru and Ecuador with lesser but still serious heat extending up Mexico reaching the tip of Baja with a building tongue extending west over the Galapagos continuing along the equator reaching west beyond the dateline and a warmer core to 135W. This is a clear and building 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 a Springtime upwelling pattern in control there and likely be reinforced over the next week.
Hi-res 7 day Trend (6/23): A neutral pattern over the east equatorial Pacific. A generalized light warming pattern was on the equator from 130W to New Guinea. It's not surprising there's no clear signal of warming along Ecuador 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: (6/23) 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 the dateline and beyond. No cool waters were on the equator anymore. Everything is now looking like El Nino. The east equatorial Pacific is steadily warming.
Nino1.2 Daily CDAS Index Temps: (6/24) (These temps are biased high by about 0.2 degs compared to official sources). Today's temps are steady at +2.406 after building/peaking at +2.7926 on 6/13 and have been up in the +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: (6/24) (These temps are biased high by about 0.2 degs). Today temps are rising to +0.898 after being in the +0.712 range the last 9 days after previously rising to +0.975 on 6/9. We are now 27 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 (6/24) - Temps are above In the El Nino range at +0.9 degs and are to hold into July then rising to +1.70 degs in Oct and solidly into El Nino territory. The PDF Corrected forecast suggests temps are forecast falling from +0.95 degs in June to +0.80 degs in July then slowly rising to +1.25 degs in Nov/Dec. According to this version of the model we are building into El Nino through the Summer. But max temps are down from previous runs.
IRI Consensus Plume: The June 16, 2023 Plume (all models) depicts temps are +1.120 degs today and it's the 4th month above the La Nina threshold. Temps to rise steadily from here forward to +1.298 in July and up to +1.466 degrees in Oct then fading from there. The dynamic model suggest temps peaking at +1.761 in Oct. The CFS model is on the upper range of all models but 3 of 17 are higher still.

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 (6/20) the Daily Index was weakly positive at +5.27 but had been negative 11 days prior. It was positive 5 days previous to that then negative for 27 days previous ending 6/6 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 rising at -11.35 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 steady at -7.62 and turned negative the first time in years on 5/12. A recent max low was -7.57 on 6/6. 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').
