Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

Who needs cloudy skies? Not today, as most of the day will be as sunny

as can be, allowing the high to creep into the mid-80s in Costa Mesa and

high 70s in Newport Beach. It should feel a bit warmer today, however,

and the UV index will reach about 9 from noon to 3 p.m.

Overnight, expect the thermometer to drop about 20 degrees to a

still-warm 65. It will be a cloudless night, so enjoy the stars and

expect similar conditions on Tuesday.

BOATING FORECAST

Patchy morning fog will dot the harbor early, but will dissipate with

western winds of 10 to 15 knots and warm weather. That wind will also

bring about 2-foot waves and a mixed west and southwest swell of 4 feet.

Not much will change at night, so expect the same, though areas of fog

will return.

Farther out, the northwestern winds will blow a bit more at 10 TO 20

knots, which will result in waves in excess of 2 feet and mixed northwest

and southwest swell of 6 feet. Again, expect areas of morning fog both

day and night.

SURF

The waves are practically nothing compared with last week’s southwest

swell, but should reach the waist-high level nonetheless. Expect most

waves to drop off between 2 to 3 feet with the occasional 4-footer.

Conditions should pick up a bit on Tuesday with waist- to

shoulder-high surf and fair conditions.
