UPDATED FORECAST 4-5

Storm system moving through CA this morning dumping heavy snow in the Sierra as well as local mountains in Central/Nor Cal.   Storm is moving south and east today and will exit tonight.  Behind it, strong north to northwest winds are howling as high pressure fills in.   Large, steep angle northwest swell has filled in - 15-17 ft @13 seconds from 310 far northern areas - showing 11@12 from 300 all the way down to Pt Conception.    Winds will remain strong all day, fading some for Sat/Sun and then ramping back up from north next week as high pressure builds further, temps warm and we get a good shot of Spring weather.   Beyond the weekend - surf will stay small to mid size with a mix of smaller mid period northwest swells and some chunky wind swell from all the wind scheduled to blow.   I   won't say winter is over yet, but the pattern is certainly slowing down as we move into the 2nd week of April.   Good chance we see some weaker systems on and off for the next month or two as the N Pac still has some decent energy in place.    Not tracking any systems from the Southern Hemisphere for the upcoming week.  Cya in the water.
