Coastal Waters Forecast for California
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
838 AM PDT Sat May 11 2024

PZZ500-120430-
838 AM PDT Sat May 11 2024

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

A compressed and shallow marine layer is currently hugging a
majority of the coastline with some lingering fog this morning.
Surface high pressure will allow for fair weather and moderate
northwesterly breezes to prevail this weekend. Winds begin to
increase Monday as surface high pressure over the Eastern Pacific
Ocean builds and moves east, keeping things dry with northwest
winds increasing to a fresh breeze, particularly over the outer
waters, North Bay Coast, and Big Sur Coast. Significant wave
heights will also begin building as a result at the start of next
week.
