Coastal Waters Forecast for California
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
849 AM PDT Thu Jun 27 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

849 AM PDT Thu Jun 27 2024

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

Fresh northwesterly winds continue into the weekend. Building
surface high pressure over the Eastern Pacific Ocean will move
east, tightening the pressure gradient and thus increasing the
winds. Strong northwesterly breezes with gusts approaching gale
force will prevail for most of the period. Wind is the main driver
for the Small Craft Advisories; however, significant wave heights
begin to build to 10-12 feet towards the end of the period.
