Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

A bit of wind and cloudy skies will send a chill across Newport-Mesa

today. Though the sun is expected to peek out at some point, it looks

like it will be a good day to curl up with that nice book and make

yourself a steaming cup of apple cider. The high temperature of the day

will be 69, with winds coming from the west at 5 to 10 mph. Tonight, the

low is expected to be in the upper 50s -- 57 to be exact -- but the winds

will calm.

BOATING FORECAST

Close to shore, the winds are expected to be light and there will be

areas of morning fog. A swell from the west is expected to be 4 feet.

But further out to sea, the National Weather service has put out a

small craft advisory for hazardous seas -- so be careful. Winds from the

northwest are expected at 5 to 15 knots, with wind waves of two feet or

less. A swell of 10 feet from the northwest is expected to last until

well into the night. And there will be areas of morning and nighttime

fog.

SURF

A new northwest swell should help the wave action shape up today.

Waves in the chest-high range should help to make up for Saturday’s

action -- or lack thereof.
