AUTUMN TOMORROW

Autumn Equinox tomorrow.  Fall officially arrives.  Swell this week from a few sources.  New Zealand southern hemisphere most of the week.  Size will be between 1.5 and 2 ft - periods 15-17 seconds.  Most lost under the more dominant north swell and local wind swell.  Look for wind swell Monday from 8-10ft at 11 seconds.  Period and size to increase Tuesday at 9-12 ft at 12 seconds and a larger shot by Wednesday, 13-15 ft.   Most if not all of this energy will be due to ferocious north to northwest winds over the outer waters and well to our north - with winds 20-30kt and 40kt gusts.   Fire danger will elevate mostly in Mendo and Sonoma counties.  Further north, less extremes due to wetting early season rains.  Will get hot again at least until late week, then another low pressure system will drop down from the north cooling things off and increasing our chances of rain again.  Plenty of swell on tap, plenty of wind too.  Cya in the water.
