.Synopsis for the Central California Coast and Bays Including
the Monterey Bay...Greater Farallones...and Cordell Bank National
Marine Sanctuaries...
Surface high pressure over the Eastern Pacific Ocean will ever so
slightly begin to build and move east today. As a result, the
pressure gradient will tighten and northwesterly winds will
increase, particularly over the northernmost zones and outer waters.
Significant wave heights will build through early next week.
