Moderate to fresh northwesterly breezes continue to prevail due to the gradient between subtropical high pressure and lower pressure over the Southwestern United States. As high pressure slowly progresses towards the coast, the pressure gradient will tighten, causing the wind speed to increase through the weekend. A fresh to strong northwesterly breeze will persist through next week. Significant wave heights will mostly be dominated by wind driven waves, though there is a moderate northwesterly swell and a low southwesterly swell mixed in. $$ PZZ570-091015- Waters from Point Arena to Point Reyes 10-60 NM- 252 PM PDT Sat Jun 8 2024 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING... .THIS AFTERNOON...NW wind 20 to 25 kt.
