Outlook
Down  --- Locally generated north windswell to fade as the coastal gradient weakens over the weekend, only to redevelop slightly early next week but only north of Pt Conception. Also a gale developed off Japan on Sat (5/18) with 40-45 kt west winds and 32 ft seas. Some small northwest swell possible by Sat (5/25). Down south the focus remains residual swell originating from the remnants of Storm #1S in the Southeast Pacific Fri-Sat (5/18) with west winds in the 40 kt range and seas 34-36 ft over a small area but all aimed due east with only sideband background energy radiating north expected to arrive into the weekend (5/26). No other swell producing fetch is modeled.  Get what you can now.
