A small craft advisory is now in effect as ASCAT showed 20 knot
winds in our western waters. Winds will remain gusty and offshore
through tonight with the SCA ending at 09Z tonight. With the
offshore flow there is a possibility for a low water event (-1.0
ft below MLLW) during low tide on Friday morning. For the weekend
conditions will improve before another cold front brings more
gusty offshore winds on Monday.
