...GALE WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO 9 PM PST
THURSDAY...

The National Weather Service in Eureka has issued a Gale Warning,
which is in effect from 9 PM this evening to 9 PM PST Thursday.
The Gale Watch is no longer in effect. 

* WINDS...N 15 to 25 kt with local gusts around 35 kt, increasing
  to 25 to 30 kt with gusts to around 40 kt late this evening.

* WAVES...Northwesterly short period seas of 6 to 8 feet at 7 
  seconds build to 10 to 13 ft at 10 seconds by this afternoon. 
  These will combine with a couple of northwesterly swells, 
  resulting in combined seas of 14 to 17 feet by Wednesday night.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Gale Warning means winds of 34 to 47 knots are imminent or
occurring. Operating a vessel in gale conditions requires
experience and properly equipped vessels. It is highly
recommended that mariners without the proper experience seek safe
harbor prior to the onset of gale conditions.

A Small Craft Advisory means that wind speeds of 21 to 33 knots
are expected to produce hazardous wave conditions to small craft.
Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller
vessels should avoid navigating in these conditions.
