PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Small Craft Advisory for hazardous seas means that waves are expected to be hazardous to small craft. Mariners should avoid shoaling areas. Remember, breaking waves can easily capsize even larger vessels. A Small Craft Advisory for wind means that wind speeds of 21 to 33 knots are expected. Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels should avoid navigating in these conditions. A Gale Watch is issued when the risk of gale force winds of 34 to 47 knots has significantly increased, but the specific timing and/or location is still uncertain.
