Long-period SSW/WSW swell is filling in across the region, with the cleanest looks this morning at San Simeon and Piedras Blancas (both ★2), where cross-northwest winds are keeping faces tidy on head-high-plus sets. Most Santa Cruz spots are borderline onshore already and rating ★1.5, though that long 16-17 second interval at Mendocino with cross-offshore flow makes it worth a look. Swell is trending up through the next 2-3 days, so expect improving size — just watch for sea breezes kicking in earlier as the energy builds.
