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

Gentle to moderate northwesterly breezes will prevail through
Monday. As the pressure gradient tightens Tuesday, northwesterly
breezes increase to become moderate to fresh and seas become rough
in the outer waters. As hot conditions persist and people flock
to the coast, always remember to wear a life jacket, swim near a
lifeguard, and never turn your back on the ocean.
