South to southwest winds will continue ahead of a weak cold front moving through the coastal waters. Northwest winds will then quickly return by this evening in the wake of the frontal passage. Locally stronger winds are forecast to persist along the Big Sur coast south of Point Sur. Winds will then gradually strengthen later on Tuesday and remain elevated through mid to late week.
