Synopsis

Northerly winds will ease slightly and move farther offshore overnight Wednesday. Winds and seas continue to ease into Thursday as a passing weak cold front moves near the area. This will create westerlies for the outer waters which will quickly drive in steep 9 to 11 ft seas starting late Thursday night. The northerlies increase Friday and through the weekend.

What this buoy measures

This buoy is not reporting waves. Conditions above come from the sensors it does carry, and the forecast, tides and sun times on this page are regional rather than measured at the buoy.
