Northwest winds continue to gradually decrease today to become
fresh breezes. Seas continue to build through the day today,
becoming rough in the NW waters. There is a bit of a break on
Tuesday before a second cold front brings the return of strong NW
winds and rough seas to the exposed coastal waters. Overall it
will be a challenging week for smaller craft.
