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

Strong high pressure to the north and low pressure inland will
support near gale force wind gusts. The most likely areas for gale
force winds and hazardous seas will be over the outer waters
north of Point Reyes with strong gale force gusts. South of
Pigeon Point winds will be weaker and westerly to southerly. The
Delta breeze will also increase later this afternoon, resulting
in hazardous boating conditions for portions of the San Pablo Bay
and west Delta regions. Southerly coastal jets are forecast to
develop along the Pacific Coast near the Monterey Peninsula and
also along the Santa Cruz coastline. This may result in pockets of
rougher seas and stronger winds.
