A gale warning has been issued for the North Coast for today and tomorrow.

Eureka’s National Weather Service office reports that northerly gale-force winds and large, steep waves will make for hazardous ocean and beach conditions.

“Plan ahead if you’re planning on heading out to sea,” the NWS stated.

Winds of 30 to 40 mph will also be possible along the coast and in higher-elevation areas.
