Before this thread turns into a surfing thread, I'd like to say that Pelagic Paddler did a great job on breaking each element down.  Even I am beginning to understand it better now. Thanks!

Where'd the Wiki go?  This would be a great place to archive this kind of info and build on it.

watch the goonies!! HAHA!

If you do watch the Goonies, don't get too confused, because some of the filming was also done near Jenner, CA (my old fishing grounds on the Sonoma Coast, NorCal).

Big time Goonies fan here! Visited all the local spots, have the tee shirt ::).  If I'm not mistaken only the last scene(s) were filmed in NorCal

Sorry, I get distracted easily.

The current goal is to drop crab traps on the way out, & have the hand line rigged for bottom fishing in between surf sessions & pick up the traps on the way in....Still trying to work that out   :-\

I'm a multi-tasking kayaker.

But the ocean condition info was excellent. Nice one.

Since work was soooo busy today ::) I found a great resource for wave info.

http://magicseaweed.com/news.php?categoryId=7

This covers a lot of ground. Everything from general wave terminology, wave generation and forecasting, to stuff like wave refraction and how pressure systems work.

I am a big fan of magic seaweed. between that site, NOAA, and the surf web cams, you are pretty much covered.

Pleaze make this thread a sticky so it doesn't get lost, and possibly weed out the chit chat, so it stays ocean weather related as a working document.
