FINE TUNING INCOMING SWELL....

Swell started hitting the Papa Buoy about 630 last night - Papa is 600 miles northwest of Eureka.  Deep water swell 12-16 ft at 14-15 seconds.  Solid, perhaps a touch smaller than models predicted.  Given timing, won't see any of this swell today - perhaps early forerunners before sunset.   Swell will fill in overnight and then be solid on Thursday and Friday.  Light winds today, stronger northwest tomorrow and then turning light again into the weekend.  Cya in the water.

HERE WE GO....

New swell filled in overnight - running around 8-9ft at 11-12 seconds from 310 plus.  This is the warm up act to a much larger swell due in Wednesday.  This next swell will be the biggest of the Fall so far - with surf heights pushing 17-20 ft Wednesday into Thursday.  Smaller Bay Area, larger north of Bodega Bay.   Winds look fairly light the next few days - then will ramp up Thursday into Friday.  Unsettled conditions will arrive Wednesday as well - with rain likely north of Sonoma Country through the end of the week.  So it's going to look and feel more like Fall from mid week on.  Cya in the water.

SMALL SURF.....

Fairly nice conditions but not much swell for the next few days.  Pretty much just wind swell from the Gulf through the middle of next week.   Models are hinting at a more active pattern starting around the 15th, but until then - slim pickens.  Could be some nice beach break days with the small surf.  Cya in the water.
