Coastal Waters Forecast for California
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area

Central California Coast from Point Arena to Point Piedras
Blancas out to 60 NM, including Monterey Bay, Greater Farallones,

232 PM PDT Sun Jun 9 2024

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

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.
