BIG PICTURE: TUESDAY
NORTH PAC. New High Pressure in control and building as it moves NE...this keeps moderate trades to build tuesday thru Wednesday with 2+' windswell to follow. All in all the NPAC storms are weak with mostly near gales. one shaped up off the Kurils north of japan moved easts and may push out a 1-2' NNW around lateTuesday evening June 3...This Low broadens as it tracks up NE. Friday the fetch gets some near Gales and widens. The result could be a 1-2 NNW June 4th. Real Long Rangers still show some distant extratropical storms move zonally (west to east) june 4th which may push out waist high around Friday 6/6...typhoon Nakri is  headed north to Japan and now recurves as it weakens rapidly producing a possible tiny 2+ West swell late Sunday(6/8). the system then moves NE and strengthens into a new low to push out some 3' NNW swell around the 10th. Stayed tuned. Tis Hurricane season June 1-Nov 30.SNN Meteologist Matt Wanink's specialty. See below.
SOUTH PAC: LOOKING GOOD! 1st,..Models had  2 fetches from 2 lows one on top of the other  far off the east of NZ last sunday into Memorial Day and tuesday in the 180-190 band leading to solid 3' SSW this Tues into Wednesday.
...then #3 down under another BIG system far south of NZ(65 lat) Monday 5/30 spins off more SSW but with limited duration of fetch due to proximity to the Ross Ice shelf...but should still bring in 18 sec 4runners and 2-3' late thursday into Friday June 6th...
...another  BIG storm #4 right behind it creeped up off NZ east coast on June 1,2 with a slightly better angle and should push up some more 2-4+' Saturday June 7 and last into Sunday
....#5 As of tuesday 6/3 a storm spins off NZ east coast pointing some 45kt and 30' seas our way as it tracks east ..this should be good for more 3' waves in 7 days or monday 6/9.
... #6 on Saturday 6/7 a TAZ SEA storm with a large fetch of 40+kts and 35' seas pushes up 3' SW around late Friday 6/13..the GSF model has this same system's fetch off the east coast of NZ in the right spot which will make for overhead SSW waves all Fathers Day weekend.
...LAST BUT NOT LEAST, #7...On June 9th, Monday yet another BIG storm moves to the east coast of NZ with hints of 50+kts and 40' seas...if this pans out we'll get 3-5' SSW on Monday 6/16...
So, needless to say, just stay waxed and ready the next 2 weeks! (expect long adjustments on these long rangers).
