.Synopsis for the Central California Coast and Bays Including

National Marine Sanctuaries...

Northwest winds will increase across the coastal waters as high
pressure builds over the eastern Pacific and low pressure
develops over central California. Locally gusty coastal jets are
forecast south of Point Arena, Pigeon Point, and Point Sur that
will create hazardous seas conditions for smaller vessels. Breezy
afternoon and evening winds are also forecast over the San
Francisco Bay as well as over the Monterey Bay. Mixed seas will
continue with shorter period northwest waves at around 8 to 10
seconds, a light longer period west swell, and a light southerly
swell.
