Moderate to fresh breezes out of the northwest through at least the midweek, then ease to become gentle to moderate, and more southwesterly. The far northwestern outer waters may occasionally gust stronger to gale force late tonight and early Tuesday morning, but afterwards weakens. Fair weather continues, though marine stratus will create overcast skies through much of the week. Significant wave heights will continue to build to 12-15 feet in the northern outer waters by Tuesday.
