small craft advisory
Hazardous waters alert
A small craft advisory is a warning issued by weather services when wind and wave conditions may be hazardous to small boats.
The threshold varies by region but typically means sustained winds of 20-33 knots or dangerous wave heights.
Boaters seeing a small craft advisory should consider staying in port or proceeding with caution: The coast guard issued a small craft advisory for the bay.
