Just starting a solid storm production cycle for the West Coast with heavy snow, rain and wind, XL surf for the most part over the next week. Timing the windows for ideal winds and surf will be challenging. This morning - first storm in the series is producing strong south winds and heavy rain north of the Sonoma County line. West swell 8-9ft@15 seconds mostly, with short period south and north wind swell also in the water making it all a chaotic mess. Swell comes up a notch tomorrow, pulsing back up to 10@13 and then really jumping Tuesday into Wednesday with deep water heights forecast 16-17ft @14-17 seconds. Swell angle will fluctuate between 270 and 295 degrees. West to northwest winds - strong at times - through the next 5 days. This will continue to bring much colder air into the region and very low snow levels by Wednesday morning. All n all, not many windows to surf but there are a few spots that will hold waves and deal with the wind. Cya in the water?
