We pretty regularly get bow waves along coastal headlands. These will show in the marine layer in the spring time when you can see the bulge in front of the headland. Often an accompanying "wake" will stream off downwind and outward from the land with a roll cloud or lenticular of sorts marking it. I have a picture from the satellite that shows this quite clearly in central California. I will have to find and share that. The typical line of the wake is from Pt. Buckhorn to Pt. sal.

Tom, we could hear you from our weak and ratty wave over in Santa Ynez. Slow climbs. Stumbled into a hotspot later in the day with 9kts from 12-18k and then a nice 30 mile run in lift.

Gotta love t-shirt wave in January. Only about -10C at 18.
