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

High pressure located over land continues to produce light to
moderate northerly flow over the coastal waters, which will persist
through Monday. High pressure will re-strengthen over the Eastern
Pacific on Monday, which will increase winds over the 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.
