WEATHER FORECAST

It’s another beautiful day today and it will be again Saturday, as the

highs in Newport-Mesa will again approach the mid-70s. However, expect

the high to top out at about 73 or so. Overnight both nights, expect the

temperatures to stay in the upper 40s.

Expect cooler temperatures to reign the rest of the week. But no

rain’s anticipated, so that’s wonderful. Have a great weekend.

BOATING FORECAST

The northerly winds will blow 15 to 25 knots with 3-foot waves early

in the inner waters. This afternoon, the wind will let up to about 10

knots or less, and the waves will subside to about a foot. The west swell

will be 4 to 6 feet. The same is expected later this evening.

Out farther, the easterly winds will blow 10 to 15 knots, with 2-foot

waves and a northwest swell of 9 to 11 feet. Later, the winds will blow

lighter, but the swell will stay steady.

SURF

Waves are expected in the waist- to chest-high range today, though

another northwest swell will stop by Saturday. It’s not as strong as the

last one, so no overheads are expected in Newport. Sunday’s looking even

smaller.
