Conditions given represent the highest within that period.



...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available

.SYNOPSIS...A trough along the entire California coast will

persist today through Wed night, as strong surface ridging

remains anchored W of the waters. On Wed night the ridge will

move a bit more to the E towards the northern waters, then remain

in place just W of the northern waters Thu through Sat. As a

result, the trough will persist along the N California Coast Thu

through Sat but gradually weaken along the central and S

California coastline through that time. Any tropical activity

will remain well S of the area.
