.Synopsis for the Central California Coast and Bays Including
the Monterey Bay...Greater Farallones...and Cordell Bank National
Marine Sanctuaries...
Unsettled weather prevails through the next several days. Rainfall
intensity increasing tonight and Sunday across the northern waters
with a strong cold front sagging southward to near Pigeon Point by
Sunday evening. Gusty southerly winds increase along the front
through Sunday before weakening into Monday. A more substantial
period of unsettled weather enters the picture Tuesday with a gale
force low forecasted to enter the coastal waters. This system
appears likely to bring near storm force and isolated hurricane
force gusts to the waters south of Pigeon Point and near Point
Sur Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Seas build through the
week and will be very hazardous to mariners with the potential for
wave heights in excess of 20 feet.

.Synopsis for the Central California Coast and Bays Including
the Monterey Bay...Greater Farallones...and Cordell Bank National
Marine Sanctuaries...
Unsettled weather prevails through the next several days. Rainfall
intensity increasing tonight and Sunday across the northern waters
with a strong cold front sagging southward to near Pigeon Point by
Sunday evening. Gusty southerly winds increase along the front
through Sunday before weakening into Monday. A more substantial
period of unsettled weather enters the picture Tuesday with a gale
force low forecasted to enter the coastal waters. This system
appears likely to bring near storm force and isolated hurricane
force gusts to the waters south of Pigeon Point and near Point
Sur Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Seas build through the
week and will be very hazardous to mariners with the potential for
wave heights in excess of 20 feet.
