Marine Weather Statement
Issued: 5:23 PM Dec. 24, 2025 – National Weather Service
...DANGEROUS MARINE CONDITIONS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS OF
SOUTHWEST CALIFORNIA THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING DUE TO WIDESPREAD
GALE FORCE WINDS WITH ASSOCIATED STEEP SEAS AND THREAT OF
THUNDERSTORMS AND ISOLATED WATERSPOUTS...

A powerful Atmospheric River storm system will bring dangerous
marine conditions to the coastal waters through Thursday evening.
Widespread gale force south to southeast winds will persist into
Wednesday, with another round of Gale force winds possible on
Thursday.

The strong winds will bring dangerous and very steep, choppy
