Synopsis for the central california coast and bays including the Monterey bay..Greater farallones...and cordell bank national marine sanctuaries...
moderate northwesterly winds persist through Friday morning with occasional fresh to strong gusts through various portions of the coastal waters, mostly in the southern waters. Winds strengthen to become strong and gusty into Friday afternoon with gale-force gusts likely near the big sur coast. These strong and gusty northwesterly winds last through the weekend and into at least the early portion of next week, bringing hazardous conditions for small craft vessels. Moderate period northwest swell will continue to move through the waters this weekend, with a new longer period northwest swell train entering the waters Sunday. Light, long period southerly swell continues through end of forecast period.
