236 AM PDT Sat May 4 2024

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

A low pressure system and its associated cold front will bring
widespread rain and fresh southwesterly breezes to the waters with
gale force gusts possible over the southernmost zones. Fresh
northwesterly breezes will prevail behind the cold front with
scattered rain showers possible through Saturday. Come Sunday, as
the low pressure system exits to the east, dry conditions return
and the pressure gradient will be allowed to relax, finally
allowing winds to diminish below Small Craft Advisory criteria.
