Storm door fairly open with moderate to heavy rain forecast for points north of Mendocino, lighter Bay Area to the south. Look for on and off rain showers through the week. The weekend potentially could feature a rather robust storm system depending on how things evolve over the next couple days. A "Kona" low pressure system moving to the northwest of Hawaii is forecast to merge with a N Pac Low mid week and this combination could bring heavy rain to the West Coast. Right now models show most of that energy going into the Pac NW and far N Cal as a blocking high pressure ridge may set up right along the CA coast. Lots of uncertainty however in how this develops - so we wait and see. On the surf front, plenty of swell around this week but the winds are going to be issue - waffling between southwest/west and northwest as fronts come and go. Biggest swell of the week should come ashore Wednesday, peaking around 12-14 ft @14 seconds. Left overs into Thursday, Friday and Saturday as surf heights stay in the 5-8ft range. I'm not really seeing a clean day for winds through about Saturday - but some spots will be better than others based on orientation to the wind. Cya in the water.
