Synopsis

Dynamic sea state will continue through much of the forecast period with wind and elevated swells. Moderate to fresh northerly breezes continue over the coastal waters through early next week. Rough to very rough seas will create hazardous conditions for small craft over the coastal waters. Seas begin to subside Tuesday and winds will back through the day Wednesday to become southerly.

What this buoy measures
