The afternoon seabreeze is gradually weakening, making way for light winds across our coastal waters with locally gusty winds in the outer waters north of Point Reyes this evening. A persistent pattern over the next few days will help to generate afternoon seabreezes. These seabreezes will produce locally gusty west to southwest winds from the Golden Gate gap towards Angel Island, San Pablo Bay, and the Carquinez Strait that will weaken during the evenings. Otherwise, a moderate southerly swell will persist in the waters over the next few days as well.
