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

Strong northerly winds continue through the midweek, with gale-
force gusts expected over the outer waters and near the Big Sur
coast. Towards the early morning of Thursday, winds slowly ease
to become fresh to moderate. However, as a result of strong winds
in the early portion of the week, significant wave heights will
build to heights to 15 to 16 feet over the outer waters by mid-
week. Sea conditions will be hazardous Tuesday and Wednesday. By
the late week, winds ease to become gentle and dry weather lasts
through the weekend as high pressure dominates.
