MARINE

10/816 PM.

Gusty northeast winds will affect portions of the nearshore waters through at least Tuesday, but strongest through Sunday. The locations include nearshore along the Central Coast, the Ventura Coast south of Ventura, the LA Coast from Point Mugu to Point Dume and the San Pedro Channel. A Gale Warning has not been issued for the portion for Point Mugu to Point Dume, although gusts to 35 knots or more are possible due to it being a small portion of the zone.

The winds will cause choppy hazardous seas, especially farther from shore, and will persist each day through at least Tuesday. Winds will be the strongest winds in the late night through morning hours, especially tonight through Sunday morning. The winds will also impact the Channel & Catalina Islands, causing steep easterly seas to affect east facing harbors. In addition, these winds will affect the waters from Santa Cruz Island to San Nicolas Island through at least Sunday possibly into next week.

There will be difficult-to-forecast variations in the winds and seas, especially in the afternoon and evening hours, but expect hazardous conditions at some point each day. These winds should weaken some Monday through Thursday, but could remain gusty.
