Coastal Waters Forecast for California
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area
253 AM PDT Tue May 14 2024

Central California Coast from Point Arena to Point Piedras
Blancas out to 60 NM, including Monterey Bay, Greater Farallones,
and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries

PZZ500-142230-
253 AM PDT Tue May 14 2024

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

Surface high pressure over the Eastern Pacific Ocean will dominate
and dictate conditions over the coastal waters this week. Said
surface high pressure will build and move east today, allowing for
strong northerly breezes over the northernmost outer waters where
the pressure gradient is tightest with gentle to moderate
northwesterly breezes elsewhere. A brief retrograde to the west will
allow for light to gentle breezes to prevail Wednesday and Thursday.
Significant wave heights of 10-14 feet will begin an abating trend
tonight.
