March 1st tomorrow and that typically is the end of the good wave/weather season around these parts. A look at the buoys this morning paints a more optimistic picture. New long period northwest swell has filled in overnight - ranging from over 9ft @15-17 seconds (320 deg) far north to around 4@15 seconds in SF. Smaller south of there, but swell will continue to fill in all day. We also have traces of a new and first south swell of the spring, around 1ft@17 seconds. That will also build some over the weekend, but likely be lost in the dominant northwest swell. Winds are light to offshore. Northwest swell will fade over the weekend and be replaced by some small west to northwest swells through Tuesday. Chance of rain returns Sunday and Monday - but very light and likely none south of Sonoma County. Later next week the northwest (spring) wind machine ramps up with strong winds 25-30kt by Wednesday evening. Just a reminder what season we are heading into! Plenty of waves the next couple of days. Cya in the water.
