Winds continue to reduce through the night and into Saturday, but
begin to strengthen again Saturday afternoon. These strong winds
and rough seas will result in hazardous conditions for small craft
across the waters at times well into the work week. Expect gale
force gusts to develop in the northern outer waters and along
coastal jet regions over the weekend as well. Long period
southwest swell will persist through the extended forecast.
