Surface ridging will remain over the waters today before a weak front slips southward along the British Columbia coast and into area waters tonight into Saturday. Increasing northwesterlies over the coastal waters and strengthening onshore flow will bring solid small craft conditions to many area waters. Inherited headline looks good and will remain unaltered with the morning forecast package. Seas 5 to 7 ft today building to above 10 feet late tonight into Saturday. In addition, steep seas possible with periods under 10 seconds over the coastal waters into Saturday. A secondary system will produce a similar result later Sunday into early Monday. High pressure will then rebuild across the waters early next week. 45/18 (Issued: 227 AM PDT Fri Apr 18 2025 by NOAA)
