A High Wind Watch for the coastal headlands and beaches means a
hazardous high wind event is possible in areas along the immediate
coast. Many of the headland areas and beaches are vulnerable to very
strong wind gusts that may pose a safety hazard for individuals or
high profile vehicles. The strong winds may also cause property
damage. Sustained wind speeds of at least 40 mph or gusts of 58 mph
or more are possible. Coastal headlands are characterized by high,
rocky shores and steep sea cliffs.
