This morning finds the farshore buoy indicating 8.5' @ 12.9 seconds WNW and also showing consistent WNW swell from the winds that have been ever present in the NPAC Gulf for almost the last two weeks.
With the low morning tide, town spots are looking pretty good. My back is still not up to speed so I've beached myself until at least tomorrow (or until later today if the swell gets bigger and the current good conditions last...no self discipline...) The faraway buoy has been showing the same wind swell, only a bit bigger, so I expect size to increase here for the next few hours before mimicking the faraway buoy and starting to back down later today.
The infrared satellite images are from NOAA, in 24-hour increments from today back three days. They clearly show the wind and fetch that is the breeding ground for our current waves. Nature's wave womb.
