Overcast conditions continue over the inner coastal waters with low level stratus becoming more widespread overnight. Potential for patchy fog and light drizzle continues through tomorrow morning, particularly within the Monterey Bay and Big Sur regions, which may cause temporarily reduced visibilities. Widespread fresh to strong northwesterly gusts will develop over the northern coastal waters over the weekend and gradually extend farther southward as an upper level disturbance moves inland. Significant wave heights build throughout the weekend with wave heights peaking between 12 to 14 feet. Elevated wave heights and gusty conditions will create hazardous conditions for small crafts that will continue through the weekend and into the following work week. $$ PZZ570-081615- Waters from Point Arena to Point Reyes 10-60 NM- 848 PM PDT Fri Jun 7 2024 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON... .TONIGHT...NW wind 15 to 20 kt.
