SYNOPSIS:
A tightening pressure gradient will produce above-normal winds across the region. Meanwhile, moisture associated with a frontal boundary just north of the local area will generate isolated showers at times during the forecast period.
Deteriorating seas with waves peaking near 10 feet in some areas are due to a combination of northerly swells and breezy conditions. As such, high surf and small craft advisories are now in effect. Small craft operators and sea bathers are advised to exercise caution.
STATE OF THE SEA: Moderate to rough
WAVES/SWELLS: 6 to 10 feet
