francisco bay area and monterey bay

.synopsis for the central california coast and bays including
monterey bay...gulf of the farallones...and cordell bank national
marine sanctuaries...

a very weak trough of low pressure will continue to move across
the waters tonight. high pressure will build in behind the trough
resulting in strong and gusty northwest winds into the work week.
as a result of these increasing winds steep fresh swell will
develop as the week progresses.
