Latest Marine Discussion:

.MARINE... Overall sub-SCA level winds are expected through Thursday. Wind direction is a bit uncertain as a cold front slowly approaches and various disturbances/thunderstorm clusters pass through. There could be an enhanced northwesterly surge once the front does push through Friday or Saturday. Outside of the background winds, expect daily shower and thunderstorm chances each afternoon and evening through upcoming Friday (though can't rule out storms overnight and in the mornings as well). Special Marine Warnings may be needed to encompass any stronger thunderstorms that may form especially today (especially as an organized line approaches) and Wednesday. Strong to severe wind gusts and frequent lightning will be the main threats. Update as of: 341 AM EDT Tue Aug 11 2026
