Looking a lot like an early Spring pattern setting up. Northwest winds are howling from about SF to Pt Arena. The ocean is responding accordingly with rising, large, short period wind swell and tumbling water temps due to upwelling. The good news, short lived blow today, should ease off tomorrow (a bit). Wind waves today north of Bodega/outer waters - 12-14ft, with a very small northwest swell lost underneath at 3-4ft @13 seconds. Northwest winds 25-30 kts. Wind drops to 10-15kts tomorrow as a new, mid period northwest swell comes in - but only at 4-6ft @14 seconds. Rain returns Saturday - mostly north of SF - and will last through Monday. Southwest winds will be on the rise Saturday/Sunday into Monday - making a mess of things. Large Northwest swell steams in on Sunday at 12-14ft - but doubtful anything will be manageable with the wind except perhaps for Central Cal and further south. Swell angle on most of this energy is going to be pretty steep - 300 plus degrees. Enjoy a couple days of sun and then it's back to the wet this weekend. Cya in the water.
