New, large northwest swell filled in overnight - buoys showing 9@17 seconds around SF, 12 @17 much further north (swell angle 296 to 300). Winds are very light out of the south. It's going to stay large most of the week (above 9-10 ft) and then going XL this weekend when a long period, powerful northwest swell comes in around 17ft@17 seconds. This is a result of Gulf Low just getting going which is going to create some of the biggest buoy reads in the N Pac we've seen in a long while. If the models are accurate - forecasting swells around 60ft! out in the N Pac when the storm is at it's peak. It's a monster size storm. Rain stays away until late in the week and then CA looks to get another good pounding through next weekend with a possible atmospheric river set up - especially Bay Area to the north. Winds will be good for the next few days and then turn strongly south for the duration of the next storm event. Cya in the water.
