Large

The Weather boys in Monterey are all excited about the imminent swell train.  This is a very large swell event heading our way.  Be careful out there Sunday.  I'm up in Tahoe with a foot of fresh since Noon today:


.MARINE...AS OF 3:00 PM PDT SATURDAY...UPGRADED ADVISORY TO A HIGH 
 SURF WARNING. BUOY 59 HAS REPORTED SEAS FROM 25 TO 33 FEET ALL DAY.
 NOT EXPECTING TOO MUCH DECAY AS THIS WAVE TRAIN HEADS TOWARDS THE
 COAST. HIGH SURF WARNING STARTS AT 5 PM AND OFFICIALLY GOES THROUGH
 5 AM MONDAY. WE`LL ACTUALLY FALL OUT OF WARNING CRITERIA BY TOMORROW 
 AFTERNOON AND THEN CONVERT TO ADVISORY...BUT THATS SEMANTICS. WENT 
 AND LOOKED BACK AT HISTORICAL DATA AND FOR THE MOST PART THE LAST
 TIME WAVES WERE THIS BIG WAS THE JAN 4TH 2008 STORM AND OVER THE LAST
 DECADE THERE HAVE BEEN RELATIVELY FEW EVENTS WHERE 25 FOOT SETS
 PASSED OVER THE BUOYS.
