UPDATED FORECAST 1-11

Large, raw northwest swell will sweep down the coast late today - will peak overnight at 18-20ft at 18 seconds - very steep angle.   Northwest winds are gonna howl for pretty much the next week, along with bouts of west winds and perhaps some south as various storm systems come ashore.  The trajectory on all these storms (and swell) is out of the Eastern Gulf of Alaska/BC as that's how the storm track/jet stream is set up with lingering high pressure to our east and south offshore.   Storms will get progressively wetter through mid week.   Swell should stay above 10 ft the next 5-7 days. Plenty to ride, hide from the winds, wear a lot of rubber as it's going to get much colder through the period.  Cya in the water.
