.Synopsis for the Central California Coast and Bays Including
the Monterey Bay...Greater Farallones...and Cordell Bank National
Marine Sanctuaries...
Buoys are reporting a fresh NW breeze and rough seas. The winds will
decrease and shift to a gentle southerly breeze Wednesday,
allowing rough seas to subside and allowing for a brief favorable
weather window across the coastal waters. Late Wednesday an
approaching cold front will cause the southerly breeze to increase
to moderate before increasing and flipping back to a fresh to
strong NW breeze as the front passes early Thursday morning. The
winds will gradually diminish through the day Thursday as a very
high NW swell up to 15 feet arrives. This swell will stick around
for a while, very gradually subsiding through the weekend.
