Going North? Go Now!

By Andy Turpin | May 23, 2008 | California Coast |
If the weathermen (and their computers) are correct, sea conditions off Pt. Conception this weekend should be even mellower than this.

If you have a need to travel north along the California coast soon, we suggest you consider casting off your docklines and taking off ASAP, as the next few days are predicted to bring ideal conditions for a northbound transit.

Off Point Conception today, for example, winds are expected to be light and southerly, with moderate swells at 11-second intervals, and similar conditions continuing into the weekend.

Off the Big Sur coast, light westerly winds Friday are expected to turn southerly Saturday morning, with smooth seas and moderate swells at 10-second intervals. Sounds ideal, right? Then again, the weather gurus don’t always get it right. In any case, be careful out there.
