--- |
The local summer time Cape Mendocino pressure gradient is to be all but gone by Mon (7/21) with a nearshore eddy flow holding. Windswell to be all but gone. The gradient and north winds to return to North CA later on Thurs (7/24) with windswell returning at that time for a short while. Down south no swell producing weather systems have occurred in the past week with no swell in the water, and none forecast for the coming week. There's hints of a break in the high pressure lock down over the Southwest Pacific about 5 days out, but nothing guaranteed. |
