UPDATED FORECAST 11-8, N PAC ABOUT TO GO BOOM

 Fairly average fall surf the rest of the week, getting bigger towards the weekend and then beyond the storm door may open very wide by the middle of next week.   Winds are northwest today and staying out of a general north to northwest direction for the remainder of the week.  Next good shot of waves Friday into Saturday 6-9 ft @14 sec - biggest north of SF.   Lighter winds Sunday, bigger swell due in at 10-11 ft. After that - all eyes towards a large storm system taking up residence in the Gulf - polar jet to perhaps mingle with lower latitude jet stream winds and bring in what will be the strongest storm of this early season with potential for heavy rain, winds and mountain snows.   Large surf most likely a given, clean conditions most likely not!   This rainy pattern looks to start around Monday in the north, continuing thru about next Thursday.  As always - the devil is in the details - read the NWS Eureka and NWS Monterey/SF links for the full details over the next few days as the models come into better agreement on timing for everything.   Until then, plenty of surf to ride, just keep an eye on the winds.   Cya in the water.
