Strong northwest winds have been blowing over the outer waters for the past 48 hours and will continue to do so for the next 48 hours. As a result, wind swell has come up 9-14 ft at 8-10 seconds, biggest north of Bodega Bay. Very steep angle due to the wind direction, 325 deg, so for tucked away spots very small surf will result. Wind swell will peak in size Tuesday/Wednesday - 10-13 ft @11 seconds. So it's something to ride. South swell stays on the smaller side all week, but we will see pulses all week, building some into Thursday/Friday as a somewhat larger southeast swell builds in from about 195-200 deg. Don't expect any of these souths to be like the last run - most likely staying around 2 ft with 17-20 sec period. No real break all week in the winds until about Friday, and even then only forecast to drop to 10-15 knots. Late Spring, it's all going as planned. The only other change in the weather this week will be cooler temps region wide, as a low pressure system hangs out, chance of some showers in the mountains and ongoing fog. No big warm up expected. Cya in the water.
