.Synopsis for the Central California Coast and Bays Including
the Monterey Bay...Greater Farallones...and Cordell Bank National
Marine Sanctuaries...

Strong winds persist through Friday, with gale force gusts of 40
to 45 knots are possible over the outer waters and portions of the
immediate coast near Point Reyes and Point Sur through much of the
week. The strong winds will result in hazardous seas and steep
wind waves with significant wave heights reaching 10 to 14 feet
in the outer waters. Conditions will gradually improve over the
weekend and into next week as winds begin to ease. Chances of rain
begin early Saturday as a trough descends over the region.
