CDIP Buoy 094 (Cape Mendocino) and regional telemetry report heavy solid west-northwest swell action. Exposed outer breaks and northern headlands are seeing large overhead to double-overhead surf, ranging from 12 to 15 ft with heavy cleanup sets. Protected coves and southern facing pockets are much smaller (waist to chest high) but messy due to local wind interference.
Conditions: Overcast with steady rain showers and gusty squalls. Current Temperature: 52°F, Today’s High: 56°F. Wind: South at 22 mph gusting to 38 mph. Wind trend remains strong onshore/southerly through the afternoon before veering southwest tonight.
High Tide: 08:12 AM (6.1 ft)
Low Tide: 02:44 PM (0.8 ft)
High Tide: 09:05 PM (5.4 ft)
Primary Swell: WNW 11 ft at 14 seconds from CDIP 094. Secondary Swell: W 10 ft at 15 seconds. Surf trend will hold large and stormy through today with high wind chop mixing in. Tomorrow brings a slight easing trend in local winds, though significant long-period W wave energy keeps heavy double-overhead conditions locked in across regional breaks.
