WEATHER FORECAST

It’s warming up just a tad, as Costa Mesa will see readings of about

79 degrees. Newport Beach, meanwhile, should expect slightly cooler

temperatures. Overnight, it shouldn’t get any colder than about 64

degrees.

The weekend looks to be a bit warmer with the mercury rising to the

80-degree mark. So hit the ocean, despite the small surf.

BOATING FORECAST

Patchy fog will dot the harbor while a light wind blows this morning.

The southwest wind will become westerly into the afternoon and will blow

10 to 15 knots, generating 2-foot waves and a southwest swell of 4 feet.

Not much will change into the night, though the fog will return.

The northwest winds will pick up at night and blow 15 to 25 knots,

creating waves of 2 to 4 feet and a northwest swell of 8 feet. Come

nightfall, the winds will increase to 20 to 30 knots and the waves will

rise to the 3- to 5-foot range. Areas of fog will return late.

SURF

It gets kind of old after a while, but Mother Nature doesn’t seem to

care too much. So, expect more knee- to waist-high waves to roll into the

local beaches. The occasional 4-footer will make it a bit more fun, but

sizable waves, including 5-footers, won’t pop in until Sunday and will

get even better come Monday. Surf’s almost on.
