March 1st is the traditional end to our "good" wave season as most of you know who have followed my blog for years as well as living and surfing in Nor Cal. The days get longer, wind stronger and N Pac swells less reliable. Not to say we can't have swell production well into April from the N Pac, but odds slowly decrease, especially this year, with a fading La Nina. It does look like for the next week or so we will have some weather - including much needed rain - our current large west swell will continue to fade into midweek. Issue will be the winds building out of the northwest through the week - getting quite strong by weeks end. We will see another mid period Gulf swell build in tomorrow from 290-295 - peaking around 7@14 seconds, fading late Thursday. Then wind swell will take over Friday into the weekend. Because of ongoing storm activity in the N Pac - we could see more swells well into the first week of March and beyond - will update on those later this week. So, plenty to ride, keep an eye on the winds. Cya in the water!
