.SYNOPSIS FOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WATERS...Southerly winds have
filled in to the coastal waters. Wind waves and steep, short
period seas will create conditions hazardous for small crafts in
the northern outer waters through tomorrow evening. Winds will
diminish tomorrow but an incoming westerly mid- period swell
building over 10 feet will maintain moderately steep seas. A
series of frontal systems are expected to bring strong southerly
winds and steep seas late into the week.
