Generally weak offshore flow expected tonight. However, high seas
are expected over the offshore coastal waters. Weak to moderate
offshore flow expected late tonight and Tuesday in response to a
surge of high pressure. A weak to moderate east to northeast will

increase to moderate to occasionally strong levels at times this
