High pressure overhead for a few days giving us a welcome break from last week's storms. Don't get too comfy, as the long term forecast is now showing another potentially impactful series of storms/atmospheric rivers to hit from Feb 17-23. More on that by the middle of next week. Surf wise, lingering northwest swell around today - 6-7@12 seconds. New west swell builds tonight and will be nicely solid Sunday with deepwater at 8-9ft@17 seconds. Swell direction around 296 deg. That swell will slowly subside but linger until about Wednesday of next week. Winds look pretty light through next Wednesday as well. Good time to get wet if you've been out of the water for a while due to the weather. My sense is by next Thursday things will rapidly start to deteriorate as the storm door opens and we get hit with another El Niño infused group of storms. El Niño is on its last legs and we will start to transition back to La Niña by mid spring - but until then, plenty of energy out in the Pacific for the Jetstream to work with. Cya in the water.
