Spring. Mostly onshore winds and fog already the rule, sheltered spots will be the most favorable for riding waves - but you'll always find windows at other breaks as high pressure ebbs and flows around the region. We do have a strong late season storm developing in the Gulf of Alaska and that will send a good size swell train our way late Sunday into Monday/Tuesday. Swell will peak Monday with deep water surf heights forecast in the 6-10ft range - from 280-310. Good for double overhead ++ surf at north facing breaks. Chance of rain Monday and Tuesday. No real clean wind forecast for the next week. WNW winds the rule. There's a lot of talk about El Nino coming - even the tools in the main stream are talking about a Super Nino - but you have to discount what they say since they know very little about weather. That said - water temps are much warmer across the Pacific Basin. We certainly appear to be transitioning to an El Nino pattern. The next two months will be critical to give us an indication of just how strong this will be. If we do push into an El Nino - looking for stronger south swells, more activity in the East Pacific/Mexico for hurricanes and TS's. Then, next Fall, we would likely see an increase in North/West Pacific storm/swell activity. It would be nice to have a strong summer of south swells - just have to wait and see what develops. Cya in the water.
