Summer in Winter

To quote the NWS...
EARLY MORNING SATELLITE FOG PRODUCT LOOKS MORE LIKE A
SATELLITE IMAGE FROM JUNE THAN ONE FROM MID-FEBRUARY.
All this good weather has it's price. I was talking to self the other day thinking...you know maybe the best time to vacation from NorCal is in the summer when we get far fewer waves and sitting in the fog waiting for ankle biters is colder than surfing in head high screamers in February.

Currently, things are winding down. The swell is slowly dropping in size while maintaining 14 seconds intervals. The faraway buoy is accurately indicating our nearshore buoy swell and wave reality.

We'll have to settle for small waves until Wednesday or Thursday when we may have to settle for no waves because that's when the series of rain storm systems starts pushing through our area. Look for rain starting then and on through the weekend.

We can hope for winds and rain to be light and that we'll still be getting out. But the smart money is on raw wind swell...SoCal too...(sorry John).
