.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 build and
move east, allowing for strong northwesterly breezes to prevail
today and tomorrow with gale force gusts possible over the outer
waters and the northern coastal zones this afternoon and evening.
As this surface high pressure traverses to the north Thursday,
the pressure gradient will be allowed to relax and northwesterly
breezes will be allowed to diminish. By the weekend, another
surface high pressure over the Eastern Pacific Ocean builds and
moves to the northeast, tightening the pressure gradient, allowing
for strong northwesterly breezes to prevail over the northernmost
zones. Significant wave heights build to 12 to 14 feet by
Wednesday with an abating trend set for Thursday through Saturday
before significant wave heights build again towards the end of the
period.
