Large northwest swell winding down today, but still solid at 10ft@13 north of Bodega, smaller towards OB and Santa Cruz. Swell will continue to fade into Friday before the next round of swell arrives, first a moderate period northwest swell for early in the weekend which will peak at 8-9ft@13 and then a longer period, bigger swell potentially from Typhoon Bolaven which turned extra tropical this week and is presently streaming under the Aleutians in the Gulf of Alaska. Classic El Niño set up in the N Pac right now with a strong jet stream zipping along 40 latitude north with 150-170kt winds feeding various low pressure systems chugging across. Perfect set up for swell production. Chance of rain begins on Friday north of Sonoma County and that rain may make it down only as far as Marin. Better chance of rain area wide by early next week. Winds north today over the outer waters as high pressure briefly moves over the area and then should remain light south to southwest through next Monday. Cya in the water.
