BOATING FORECAST

Light winds and morning fog start the day off in the harbor. Wind

waves should only reach a foot with a mixed west and south swell of 3

feet. The winds will pick up only to 15 knots by late afternoon. The wind

waves might double to 2 feet.

The deeper waters will also be pretty calm. The wind stays about 10 to

15 knots throughout the day. Wind waves stay at 2 feet or less, with a

mixed northwest and south swell of 5 feet. Watch for some patches of fog.

SURF

It’s all about the true south-facing beaches today. An extremely steep

burst of energy is headed our way, which will miss Newport Beach some,

but still bring solid shoulder-high waves with a lot of lip to blast. The

best breaks in the area will see waves a couple of feet overhead. Catch

it midmorning with the tide push, which should help the shape and keep

the speed down just a bit. Next week’s shaping up even better, with a

more egalitarian southwest swell on the way.
