On Thursday, October 29, 2026, a sea turtle sighting appeared: Green and Flatback Sea Turtles logged at Pacific Grove on iNaturalist, the only sighting of it in these waters in the past year.
The surface also behaved oddly well. At NDBC 46026, the wind held under 5 kt for 14 hours. That made flat water where such calm rarely appears. Swell peaked with a 15-second dominant period at NDBC 46026, long clean energy from weather nobody here saw.
The bay did not wait. By 6:10 PM PDT, NDBC 46089 had the water at 56.8 °F, already Thursday's water gone. At 6:50 PM PDT, NDBC 46026 had a 4.6 ft swell and wind at 16 kt; the flatness is history too.
For Saturday, the National Weather Service forecasts 61 °F, another day already not yours.
