There's also a North Coast Sea Conditions at a Glance page.
There's also a Monterey Sea Conditions at a Glance.
You can click on any of the thumbnails to go directly to the full-size version of that image.
This information should be used to decide whether to go to the ocean. Conditions sometimes change unexpectedly, so you should study the conditions in person and check the latest weather reports before deciding whether to get into the water.
The Weather and Tide information links on this page are for the Monterey Area, until I can get the time to put conditions at Morro Bay or Port San Luis online. Please plan and extrapolate accordingly.
