Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

It may be a bit breezy today, but the highs should still top 70 in

Newport-Mesa under mostly sunny skies. Overnight lows will drop into the

mid- to high 40s. Friday should look similar, though with much less wind.

Though the weekend’s not looking as fruitful, enjoy today and Friday

to the fullest.

BOATING FORECAST

In the inner waters, there will be areas of dense fog. The northerly

winds will blow 15 to 20 knots today, with 2-foot waves and a west swell

of 4 to 8 feet. Later, the winds will ease to 10 knots.

Out farther, the northerly winds will blow 10 to 20 knots, with 1- to

3-foot waves and a northwest swell of 8 to 12 feet. Later, the winds will

become northeasterly and will blow 15 knots. The northwestern swell will

be about 8 to 10 feet.

SURF

Wednesday’s surf didn’t pan out as well as expected. There were some

overheads, but it just wasn’t clean enough. The northwest swell will back

down today, so expect waves in the waist- to shoulder-high range. Friday

will be slightly smaller, but another northwest swell will come in

Saturday.
