UPDATED FORECAST 9-14, WAITING ON FALL

Not much going on the next 7-10 days - mostly fluctuations of wind swell from the north and minor south and southwest swells hovering around 1-3ft (deepwater).   Models hinting at the potential for more northwest swell around mid month, so hang in there.   Until then, get what you can!  Cya in the water.

UPDATED FORECAST SEP 4, NW SWELL FOR THUR/FRI

 Quick update this morning - first northwest ground swell of the early season due in tomorrow and Friday - looks like we can expect deepwater heights 4-6ft@15-16 seconds from 295.   Might come in a touch bigger north of Bodega Bay.   Winds look fairly light the next few days as well as high pressure sits overhead.   Cya in the water.

SEPTEMBER 1!

Welcome to the 2024/2025 season!  Made it through another summer and for the most part a very wave starved one at that.   Early season is already showing signs of life in Central and N Cal - small nw swell has been moving through the waters since early yesterday, peaking around 5@13 from 310.  Smaller today - 3-4ft @11 seconds.  Another similar size swell will build in Monday night and run for a couple days.   Background southerly swells look to continue through next week - nothing bigger than 2ft.   Winds:  Not that bad other than Monday night into Tuesday when high pressure starts to build again.  This will be mostly over the outer waters.  Beyond, winds look to remain relatively light which is normal as we start meteorological fall (Sept 1).   Very weak La NiƱa for the season ahead, depending on what long term sources you read, CA looks to be in for an average wet season which will probably deliver the same for swell production.   Cya in the water.
