Quick note that the California Buoy is back in place and reporting again. This is a good intermediate buoy between the Papa Buoy and our offshore buoys to get a good sense of incoming swell trains and swell decay. The large swell of the past week is fading some today, but still solid up north (11ft @11-12 sec), smaller SF Area to Santa Cruz. Swell will hold today and a new west swell will run in under starting at 2ft@21 seconds. Strong north winds over the outer waters will fade tonight and the weekend looks really nice with fun size north and west swells 7-9 ft at 14 sec and 2-3 at 16 sec. Direction about 295 to 305. MLK Day looks smaller and still very clean with the winds. No rain in sight until end of Jan as we are locked down under high pressure again. There are signs as we move into February the pattern will change again and may remain stormy well into March. So enjoy the nice run of weather and swells from far away storms. Cya in the water.
