Coastal Waters Forecast for California
National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area

240 AM PDT Mon May 6 2024

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

Fair weather and moderate northwesterly winds will prevail today.
Northerly winds will dramatically increase overnight as the pressure
gradient is forced to tighten as surface high pressure over the
Eastern Pacific Ocean builds and moves into the Pacific Northwest.
Gale force gusts will be likely Tuesday and Wednesday, especially
over the outer waters and along the Big Sur Coast. During this
same time frame, significant wave heights will begin to build to
heights of up to 15 feet. Needless to say, conditions will be
extremely hazardous for all but the largest vessels Tuesday and
Wednesday and extreme caution should be exercised during this
time.
