March 1 is usually the end of the "good" waves season for Nor Cal. No different this March, but we do have XL surf today 9-12 ft @14 sec from 310-320 - steep angle due in most part to the long fetch of north/northwest wind behind this front currently hitting CA. Overall the pattern stays wet with junky south to southwest to west winds through the next week. Swell will trend down after Monday night, staying mid size through Thursday. On and off rain in the forecast and if you read the NOAA forecasts the models are starting to hint at another series of AR (atmospheric river) events starting March 10/11. La Niña is dead. The Active MJO is flexing and the Pacific has more tricks ahead for us before we see the end of this epic winter season for weather. So, there will be waves around - not ideal, but stuff to ride if you know where to look. Cya in the water!
