The Holidays are here

No matter how we choose to celebrate, the biggest wish from us at the WaveClock to you, is for an amazing time of giving and happiness with friends and family. We hope you're getting a chance to relax and enjoy. On top of that we'd like to bring you fun news from around the world. There is Kelly Slater's new wave park to the continued El NiƱo, the last few weeks have been exciting. 

Central California is expecting waves of 10 ft or greater for the entire next week. It promises waves through the Christmas holiday and hopefully fun waves through the long weekend for everyone. On top of that, continuing rain brings us into drought breaking territory.... enough to wet your whistle, or board as it may be. The CDIP models (right) show steady northwest swell for the Monterey area. Unfortunately, some of these weather systems promise steady strong winds, enough to blow your hair back! Hopefully, you can find a protected spot and enjoy the coast in it's winter glory. 
Truly amazing artificial wave. Kelly's collaborators have developed a technology with a moving wedge to generate waves over 100 m long with a perfect shape. Another company with some similar technology is here

It's not just brewing up to be strong
Many scientists are starting to feel that the present conditions could start an even larger and longer scale ocean oscillation leading to more large events. Summary in this article.
