806 AM PDT Thu Oct 15 2026



.SYNOPSIS...North winds will be light to gentle in all waters 

through Friday morning. Low short period seas will allow for the 

sea state to be mostly controlled by a mid period northwest swell 

around 5 feet and another mid period southwest swell around 3 

feet. Though not too steep, these opposing swells will still make 

for a chaotic sea state. Moderate to strong north winds will 

gradually rebuild first in the southern waters Friday night before

moving northward over the weekend.
