FZUS56 KMTR 100336 CWFMTR Coastal Waters Forecast for California National Weather Service San Francisco Bay Area 836 PM PDT Sun Jun 9 2024 Central California Coast from Point Arena to Point Piedras Blancas out to 60 NM, including Monterey Bay, Greater Farallones, and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries 836 PM PDT Sun Jun 9 2024 .Synopsis for the Central California Coast and Bays Including the Monterey Bay...Greater Farallones...and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries... The pressure gradient between subtropical high pressure over the Eastern Pacific Ocean and low pressure over the West is supporting fresh to strong northwesterly breezes and rough seas. The overall pattern will remain fairly stable over the next week although the high pressure will meander closer to the coast at times, bringing periods of near gale force winds and very rough seas. The first push is expected mid-week, with another over the upcoming weekend.
