Description:
Gusty north to northeast winds and choppy seas will develop over
the coastal waters southeast of Point Conception. These winds will
especially affect nearshore areas from Ventura to Santa Monica,
including Santa Cruz and Anacapa Islands. These winds also have
the potential to move through the San Pedro Channel and impact
most of the unprotected front side of Catalina Island, including
Avalon and Two Harbors. East facing harbors will be most in danger
when winds will be the most northeast on Wednesday.
These conditions have a history of vessel damage and loss of
life. Mariners should avoid these areas, or remain in safe harbor
until conditions improve. Avalon harbor should NOT be considered
safe harbor during this event.
Area Description:
Inner waters from Point Mugu to San Mateo Pt. CA including Santa Catalina and Anacapa Islands; Outer waters from Santa Cruz Island to San Clemente Island to 60 NM offshore including San Nicolas and Santa Barbara Islands
