Clean SSW groundswell is filling in nicely up and down the coast, with Point Arena and San Simeon leading the pack at ★3 on long-period energy in the 14-15 second range. Point Arena has the best wind situation right now with light cross-offshore flow keeping faces clean. Conditions hold steady through the next couple days, so no urgent reason to rush — just pick your window before the sea breeze kicks and you'll find something worth paddling out for.
