Marine Weather Statement
Issued: 9:03 PM Apr. 11, 2026 – National Weather Service
...CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING... A rather potent cold front is forecast to move through the southwestern California coastal waters tonight and Sunday morning. Conditions are favorable for a convective squall line to develop with the cold front as it pushes south and east across the waters. This system will bring rain and a chance of thunderstorms to the northern coastal waters this evening then spread south overnight into Sunday morning. Any thunderstorms that develop will bring the threat of cloud to ocean lightning, strong and erratic winds, brief heavy rain, small hail, and isolated waterspouts. These conditions can create hazardous ocean conditions, especially for smaller vessels. Mariners are advised to have a plan to reach safe harbor quickly if thunderstorms develop.
