UPDATED FORECAST 8-22

There is a small touch of hurricane swell showing from Kenneth tonight - running around 2-3ft at 12-13 secs from 220.   Just building and will be in the water tomorrow into Thursday, possibly some left overs into Friday am.   Winds were light most of the day - starting to pick up from the northwest tonight.   NW winds will pick up the rest of the week - hard to say if they will mix in right along the coast - good chance AM sessions might be ok - but expect winds for the PM sessions.   High pressure is setting up shop and it all depends on the location of the high.   Seas will build offshore the rest of the week in response to the winds, so nearshore wind swell will increase as well.   No long period swells from the south or north forecast for at least the next seven days or so.   September is almost here.  I am keeping an eye on the N Pac for some signs of life and the first swells of fall.   Cya in the water.

UPDATED FORECAST - AUG 13

Poor surf and conditions look to continue, some swell on the horizon from the south and southwest late next week and into the following.   Until then, not much to talk about other than short period windswell, fog and onshore winds.   I'd look for an increase of swells from the south around Aug 18-21.  Watching the N Pac for signs of life as we get closer to September.   Hang in there.   Cya in the water.
