Coastal Waters Forecast for California
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
834 AM PDT Sat Jun 8 2024

Central California Coast from Point Arena to Point Piedras
Blancas out to 60 NM, including Monterey Bay, Greater Farallones,
and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries

PZZ500-090430-
834 AM PDT Sat Jun 8 2024

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

The gradient between subtropical high pressure and lower pressure
over the SW US is supporting a moderate to fresh NW breeze. As the
high pressure slowly encroaches towards the coast, the pressure
gradient will tighten, causing the wind speed to increase through
the weekend. A fresh to strong NW breeze will persist through
next week with the potential for gale force winds by next weekend.
Significant wave heights will mostly be dominated by wind driven
waves, though there is a moderate NW swell and a low SW swell
mixed in.
