Still very windy here on the Mendonoma coast. This is the fourth consecutive day of unrelenting wind covering the ocean with huge whitecaps. We observed today at Gerstle Cove in Salt Point State Park under sunny skies. Visibility decreased throughout the day as the wind, whitecaps, and ocean spray grew stronger. Wind was blowing at 17 mph with gusts of 25 mph from the northwest.
