New NW swell for the weekend
Friday Mar 05 - A large area of high pressure has become the dominant factor in the Central/Eastern North Pacific. With this high in place we are seeing more storm activity in the higher latitudes and thus more steeply angled NW swells will move in over the weekend and early next week. Therefore, look for the most size north of Point Conception as many breaks in Socal will have a tough time picking up this energy. Winds/weather will also be unstable over the next few days with passing frontal systems. Meanwhile, we will continue to see small to modest size southern hemi energy mix in the background.
