Onshore flow resumes Tuesday as a weak front dissipates over the coastal waters. Northerly flow returns on Thursday as another surface ridge builds into southern British Columbia. Hazardous double digit seas are expected to reach the coastal waters later Tuesday into Wednesday as the result of a deep surface low passing well north of the area across the Gulf of Alaska. $$ PZZ150-302230- Coastal Waters From Cape Flattery To James Island Out 10 Nm- 224 AM PDT Mon Sep 30 2024 .TODAY...NE wind around 5 kt.
