Description: 
We are currently tracking a low that is expected to move north/northeast just off the coast of the YK Delta Monday night into Tuesday. There is still some uncertainty regarding the strength. A stronger low would allow for a more westward track, which could bring some low-end high surf conditions across more of the West Coast. As of right now, the southern portion of the YK Delta coast could see water levels rise to 2 to 3 feet about the mean high water. This would just be under high surf criteria for these locations. This will continue to be monitored closely over the next couple of days.
