Surface high pressure remains offshore with gentle low level onshore flow throughout the area waters. Diurnally driven westerly pushes down the strait will continue over the next several days. Latest guidance has shown more strength in the westerly push tonight, therefore have put out a Gale Warning for the Central and Eastern Strait for this evening. Northerly winds also look to increase over the coastal waters this evening along with steep seas, so A Small Craft Advisory has also been issued for this evening. Thermal troughing looks to build along the coast through midweek, with periodic increases of northerly winds through the area waters. Combined seas 4 to 6 feet look to gradually increase to 8 to 10 feet by early Monday. Seas will likely remain elevated throughout the first half of the week.
