Another clean, but small morning - west swell around 2-4 ft at 14-15 seconds. Winds are light northeast to east. King Tides coming up this Friday and Saturday so plan your sessions accordingly! We will see an increase in west swell tonight, 2-3 ft @19 seconds, filling in on Thursday to 4ft@17 seconds. Bit more swell coming Friday as size gets up to 5-7ft at 14 seconds. These smaller west swells mostly 270-280 degrees. The next real swell starts Christmas Day - where we could see swell heights jump back into the 10-12ft range. If you look at the long range models - all are now starting to lean into a very stormy post Christmas week into the first part of January - as the jet stream is going to do something it's not done in a few winters - consolidate all the way across the Pacific east to west - around 35north - with copious amounts of rain potentially as a atmospheric river sets up somewhere between N Cal and Oregon. Certainly spots north of Sonoma have the potential to see a lot of weather, but Bay Area/Central Cal should get in on the action as well. A lot of messy, large storm surf will probably result - so enjoy the next 3-5 days as winds will be relatively light with increasing swell. We need the rain and high elevation snow so it's good to see on the horizon. Happy Holidays and cya in the water.
