Welcome to April - the time of cold water, northwest winds, chunky wind swell and south swells. On cue, we have northwest winds and chunky wind swell - left over from a late season storm that dumped rain on CA, snow in the mountains and ushering in a northwest wind regime that will most likely dump water temps. North of SF today wind swell is around 9-10 @10-11 seconds, 300 plus degrees. Small south swells to move through the waters over the next day or so but will be buried by the winds. Longer term seeing more activity down off New Zealand and Australia so there is hope for more southern swells as we head into the month. N Pac is still active and not quite done with us - more rain coming in this Sunday and Monday (staying north of the Bay Area) - and still some low pressure systems on the charts that will send in late season swells. All n all, not horrible, enjoy the windy small season coming upon us. Cya in the water.
