FIRST NORTHWEST SWELL OF THE SEASON.....

 Very early northwest swell is slowly filling in this morning - coming in a bit bigger than models had forecast - 7-8ft @13-14 seconds from 299.   Smaller south of Bodega Bay at the moment - 3-4 ft.   Meanwhile, New Zealand South Swell keeps giving - 2.2 ft @17 from 200.  Look for very light winds today through Thursday as high pressure is overhead - with an uptick towards some northwest winds this coming weekend, but that might be overdone, or at least staying over the outer waters.   Sure looking and feeling a lot like early fall!   South swell should stick around most of the week.   Northwest swell to slow fade into Wednesday and then might see another pulse by next Saturday.   Keeping an eye on a Hurricane Fernanda which is moving into our swell window to the north & west of Baja with sustained winds of 95kts and gusts to 110kts.   Could see some steep angle swell from that system mid to late week.   Cya in the water.
