March 1st is historically the end of the "good" wave season in Northern/Central Cal. This March, all bets are off - right now we have a macking swell inbound from a huge area of low pressure sitting and spinning in the Gulf of Alaska - which will bring the well advertised heavy snow event to the Sierra and most all higher elevations of Northern California. Expect to see accumulations of snow even at lower elevations - below 500ft late tonight and Saturday. Few flakes at sea level possible north of Ft Bragg. Unfortunately for the inbound swell - brutal sw to west winds are tearing things up, so don't expect it to be clean throughout the weekend. In fact, not really seeing much improvement in the wind through next Tuesday. Such has been the story this winter as far as surfing goes. Swell will stay XXL through Sunday, gradually fade into next week. More rain on the way on and off next week as well. Wish i had a better forecast - but that's what we got. Cya in the water?
