UPDATED FORECAST 5-27

Week ahead - small south/southwest swells will continue in the background - strongest Santa Cruz to So Cal.   Northwest winds and wind swell through the week - just enough size to keep some rideable waves around from SF > North.   Southerly swells around 2@15/17 seconds - wind swell will range from 5 to 9 ft at mostly 9 seconds.  Northwest winds mostly 15-20 kt and strongest over the outer waters.  Cya in the water.   

UPDATED FORECAST 5-13

Late season northwest swell peaking today - around 10@12 seconds from 305 - winds are strong out of the northwest and that trend will continue the rest of the week - what we expect in Nor Cal during May.  Largish northwest wind swell will take over the rest of the week with small south swells in the background - nothing bigger than 2@17/18 sec.   Most of that southern energy won't make it around Pt Conception with the heavy northwest swell/winds coming down the coast.   So plenty of swell about - just very windy.   Cya in the water.
