Surfline forecaster Kevin Wallis gives us a look at what the waves will look like for the rest of the week:

A ridge of high pressure centered well off the California coast will extend into the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday and Thursday. As a result, we’ll see pleasant weather in the afternoons with beach temps reaching the mid 60s, although there is a chance for patchy fog in the mornings. Similar weather conditions look likely through Friday, before we see a slight chance of rain develop for the very beginning of the weekend with a trough of low pressure moving over Northern and Central California.
 
Our surf will remain quite small for most of the day on Wednesday, with just a tiny mix of southwest and southeast swells from the Southern Hemisphere. Most breaks will see 1-2 foot surf for a good chunk of the day, while top southerly exposed beaches see waves occasionally running up to 3 feet. A new west-northwest swell will start to build late Wednesday, but looks much stronger for Thursday. By Thursday look for many breaks to see 2-4 foot surf, while top breaks hit 5 foot plus faces. The west-northwest swell fades on Friday, but we will see some new southwest swell, so the surf will remain fun and peaky.
 
Going into the weekend, we could potentially see a larger west-northwest swell build in, although our wind/weather conditions early in the weekend may be less than ideal for surfing, before cleaning up later in the weekend. Keep an eye on Surfline.com for all the latest details on this next run of swell!
