Swell from Hurricane Jova entered the So Cal waters overnight and pushing up this morning. It's starting to show as far north as Big Sur, deepwater swell around 3ft@14 seconds from 170. North of Santa Cruz, SF and beyond, it's still the remnants of our old southwest swell at 2-3ft @14 from 185. Winds mostly light, fog in along most of the Coast. Jova swell will build all day - peaking overnight Santa Cruz/SF and then pushing up far north for Sunday/Monday. Swell might be a bit smaller than forecast since the hurricane was moving quite quickly (even though the winds were very strong) - you typically want to see a hurricane like Jova move very slowly to the northwest in the CA swell window to maximize surf heights. Either way - still should be some fun tropical swell around the next few days. Spots with a good view to the south might feature some larger sets at times, tropical swells can be very unpredictable. Next up - starting mid week - another good run of southwest swell on tap. More on that when we start the week. Cya in the water.
