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

Building high pressure and a subsequent strengthening of the
pressure gradient will allow for strong northwesterly winds to
prevail through the weekend posing hazardous conditions for small
crafts. Periods of gale force gusts will occur through the week,
especially over the coastal waters. Moderate period northwesterly
swell will continue to move through the waters through Thursday
causing wave heights up to 12 feet.
