Sea conditions will be hazardous Tuesday and Wednesday with gale warnings issued for portions of the coastal waters. By the late week into the weekend, winds ease to become gentle, significant wave heights gradually diminish to 5 to 7 feet, and dry weather continues as high pressure dominates. $$ PZZ570-080415- Waters from Point Arena to Point Reyes 10-60 NM- 835 AM PDT Tue May 7 2024 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM PDT THIS AFTERNOON... ...GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM PDT THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING... .TODAY...N winds 20 to 30 knots.
