.Synopsis for the Central California Coast and Bays Including
the Monterey Bay...Greater Farallones...and Cordell Bank National
Marine Sanctuaries...
Gentle to moderate northeast to east breezes persist across the
San Pablo Bay, the Delta, and through the Golden Gate through
Wednesday as light to gentle northeast to north winds continue
across the rest of the coastal waters. Later this week, the ridge
should break down as a weak cutoff low approaches, allowing winds
to increase and shift to the northwest. Low seas up to around 6
feet continue through the middle of the week as a northwest swell
builds.
