TO: CAPTAIN
PREPARED: July 08 13:06z

Good morning. Broad thermal trough of LOW pressure extends from the s'rn Californian coast nw'ward to s'rn Vancouver Island, and is forecast to shift se'ward later tonight through tomorrow while weakening, then remain stationary along the n'rn Californian coast on the 10th while strengthening.

HIGH pressure ridging will build e'ward from HIGH center to offshore waters of the n'rn Californian coast later tomorrow, and remain nearly stationary through the 10th. This ridge will interact with aforementioned thermal trough offshore of n'rn California later tomorrow night through the 10th, and result in enhanced n'ly winds/seas offshore the next few days.

In the long range, expect HIGH pressure ridging to extend ssw'ward from HIGH center to the n'rn Hawaiian Islands ne'ward over open waters to 130W between 35N s'ward through 25N on the 11th through the 13th while weakening, then re-strengthen on the 14th through the 15th.

TROPICS remain quiet in the e'rn and central Pacific at this time.

SAN FRANCISCO  TO  PYRAMID ROCK  FORECAST:  (DEPARTURE - 07/08 20Z)

ROUTE RECOMMENDATION: FOR BEST SAILING CONDITIONS, RECOMMEND FROM GOLDEN GATE ENTRANCE A RL - 35N/135W ON A COURSE OF 245 DEGREES FOR BEAM TO BROAD REACHING ANGLES, THEN RECOMMEND RL - 30N/145W ON A COURSE OF 249 DEGREES FOR BROAD REACHING TO AT TIMES RUNNING ANGLES, THEN DIRECT ON A COURSE OF 233 DEGREES TO PYRAMID ROCK.

THIS ROUTE WILL ALLOW FOR FAVORABLE SAILING ANGLES INITIALLY, AND TO DELAY UNAVOIDABLE RUNNING CONDITIONS IN THE LONG RANGE, FROM 133W TO 140W. ADJUST COURSE AS NEEDED FOR BEST HANDLING IN UNAVOIDABLE RUNNING CONDITIONS LATER ON THE 11TH THROUGH THE 14TH.
