Fw: WaveWatch Alert

Storm Forming in the North Pacific
Wavewatch Alert for California 2.12.08
 
A strong, well positioned storm has been brewing NW of Hawaii near the International Date Line. This system as it moves into the Gulf of Alaska over the next 24-36 hours will produce another good-sized swell for Northern and Central California...and a decent sized pulse for Southern California as well.
 
NorCal will see this WNW swell (275-310) start to arrive quickly on Feb 15th and then peak overnight into the 16th. At this point expect wave heights to be in the consistently overhead+ range while standout breaks see sets going double-triple overhead+ on sets. Deepwater breaks like Mavericks will have the potential to be bigger.
