New storm system came ashore with one more on it's heels tonight into Saturday. Swell is back up - 14ft at 15-17 seconds from 280 - big west swell. Winds are south at 20kts plus. Look for this large swell to persist through Saturday - then begin to subside Sunday & Monday. Winds look like crap for Saturday sessions - west 15-25kts - a few nooks and crannies might be sort of rideable. NW winds on Sunday, but light - might make things a go for the AM sessions. Smaller surf to continue into next week with potential offshore/northeast winds forecast by about Tuesday as high pressure builds in and gives us a few days of dry weather and a break from the rain. Won't last long - weather models suggest the ridge will break down and rain will return by about Thursday of next week.
On a personal note - very sad to hear about Marin Local Dan Dafoe who went missing this past Wednesday in the water off Fort Cronkhite. I did not know Dan personally, but remember seeing him in the water over the years. Prayers to his family, friends and all the surfers that knew him.
