.Synopsis for the Central California Coast and Bays Including
the Monterey Bay...Greater Farallones...and Cordell Bank National
Marine Sanctuaries...
Hazardous marine conditions persist through early next week. Fresh
to strong northwest breezes are supporting rough to very rough seas
across the coastal waters. Expect frequent gale force gusts north of
Pigeon Point and near gale force gusts to the south. A low long
period southerly swell and a moderate long period westerly swell
combined with strong winds are contributing to a confused sea
state.
