The pressure gradient between subtropical high pressure over the Eastern Pacific Ocean and lower pressure over the western United States is supporting a fresh to strong northwesterly breeze and rough seas across the coastal waters. The overall pattern will remain fairly stable over the next week although the high pressure will meander closer to the coast at times, bringing periods of near gale force winds and very rough seas. The first push is expected mid-week, with another over the upcoming weekend. $$ PZZ570-101030- Waters from Point Arena to Point Reyes 10-60 NM- 232 PM PDT Sun Jun 9 2024 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING... .THIS AFTERNOON...NW wind 20 to 25 kt.
