First off - weather and fire update for our friends to the south. Strong/damaging Santa Ana winds will continue through the day, turning more northeast overnight. Jet stream winds right now are unfortunately blowing directly over So Cal exasperating the fire situation. These winds are being driven by a low pressure system driving into the Great Basin, AZ New Mexico - with high pressure locked in to the West. Some relief later in the week but it looks like the region can expect on and off Santa Ana winds through the weekend. The worst winds now, through Thursday.
For Central and Nor Cal - windy yes, but we've had rain unlike So Cal - so our fire situation isn't anything to be concerned about. The dry pattern looks to remain in place through the middle of next week - some hint that the ridge will break down late next week and we might get back into a wetter pattern. Surf wise, well it's been quite solid and remains so today with swell running about 9@15 north of Bodega Bay, 6-8ft Bay Area south. Swell direction around 290-293. Pretty much looking at similar size waves the rest of the week, but then getting larger into the weekend as the winds pick up offshore for Nor Cal and generate some larger, short period stuff. Cya in the water.
