Surfline forecaster Jonathan Warren gives us a look at this week’s surf forecast, and beyond.  

Weather conditions over this past weekend improved and provided Memorial Day with sunny skies, a nice afternoon seabreeze, and cool temps; perfect for the afternoon BBQ. However, surf remained rather small as a new, but small-scale SW swell slowly filled in with knee-waist high waves for the better spots of Orange County.
 
This southwest swell tops on Tuesday with only modest size waves as a new but small pulse of south, southeast groundswell shows. On Wednesday, the SW energy slowly fades as the SSE swell holds fairly steady. The better South Hemi exposures of Orange County will continue to provide plenty of knee-waist high waves on Wednesday, with standout spots holding occasional belly-chest high sets. Conditions for the morning still look rather clean for the most part, but expect onshore flow to increase through the day from the west, northwest. By Thursday, the SW and SSE swells slowly fade as a small NW windswell starts to show. Also, a new S groundswell starts to creep in. Nonetheless, surf will stay

mostly around knee-waist high for the better spots with unfavorable conditions and a possible South eddy setting up.
 
Looking further out; the new southern groundswell will fill in on Friday with some fun size sets for Orange County as we move into the weekend around the 2-4’+ range. Although conditions still not ideal, especially on Friday with another South eddy possibly setting up, we may see the mornings improve on the weekend with lighter winds. Also, a small NW windswell is expected to mix in with the South Hemi for peaky surf at the beach-breaks across the region.
 
For the long-range; models indicate that a much better dose of South Hemi juice is lining up for us next week with a start around June 4th-5th. So, stay posted to Surfline.com for the latest updates!
