Building surface high pressure over the Eastern Pacific Ocean will allow for strong northwesterly winds to prevail through today, with gale force gusts across the outer coastal waters. Expect hazardous conditions and steeper wind waves as a result. Northwesterly winds diminish and significant wave heights abate beginning tomorrow as surface high pressure over the Eastern Pacific Ocean weakens and retrogrades to the west and a troughing pattern evolves. $$ PZZ570-241015- Waters from Point Arena to Point Reyes 10-60 NM- 233 PM PDT Thu May 23 2024 ...GALE WARNING IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT... .THIS AFTERNOON...NW wind 25 to 30 kt.
