Interesting forecast for the next week or so. First off, the N Pac is active and we will have another shot of shorter period, good size wind swell starting Friday - lasting into Sunday - deep water from 6-11ft - larger north of Bodega Bay. N winds tick back up starting Friday night, lasting through Sunday. South swell fades some Thursday, then ticks back up Friday to Sunday which might include some hurricane swell from a Hurricane Fernanda which is about 900 miles south of San Diego. There is a bigger tropical system likely turning into a hurricane over the next 24 hours which will track right up Baja (parallel to Baja) starting Monday 8-21. The first tropical swell from Fernanda will just mix in with existing southern hemisphere swells to give things a boost - that 2nd tropical swell, if it develops as forecast - could end up being pretty solid if it gets some good purchase over the open ocean and climbs in the CA swell window. Better idea on that by the weekend. With El Niño fully pushing now i expect the remainder of the East Pacific Hurricane season will be quite active. Get some, cya in the water.
