Coastal Waters Forecast for Northwest California
National Weather Service Eureka CA
FOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WATERS.
WATERS FROM PT ST GEORGE TO PT ARENA AND OUT 60 NM The calm weather is ending today. Winds from the north will start to get stronger this afternoon, especially south of Cape Mendocino. By tonight, these stronger winds will spread across all the outer waters. Key Hazards for Mariners: * Gale Watch: We are watching for very strong winds in the outer waters starting Saturday afternoon. If these winds develop as expected, gusts could reach 45 mph (40 kt). We may upgrade this to a Warning soon. * Dangerous Waves: These winds will make the ocean very "steep." This means waves will be tall (10 to 13 feet) and hit very close together (every 7 to 9 seconds). This creates rough, choppy water that is dangerous for small boats. * Low Visibility: Thick fog will make it hard to see near the coast through Friday morning. Winds should help clear the fog later today. What to Expect: The roughest weather will be on Sunday. By Monday, the wind will slow down, but a heavy swell from the west will arrive. This will create dangerous breaking waves at harbor entrances.
