WEATHER FORECAST

Some drizzle might kick off the mostly cloudy morning today. But the

skies should part a bit this afternoon to allow the sun to shine in.

Highs will be in the low 60s in Newport-Mesa. Overnight, the lows should

dip into the mid-40s.

Thursday should be much sunnier, though it will be breezier and the

highs will remain in the low 60s while the lows will again hit the

mid-40s.

BOATING FORECAST

The westerly winds will blow a light 10 knots in the inner waters

today, with 1-foot waves and a west swell of 3 feet. The conditions will

stay consistent this evening.

Out farther, the northwesterly winds will blow 5 to 15 knots

throughout the day, with 2-foot waves and a northwest swell of 9 feet.

SURF

Most of today’s waves will be in the knee- to waist-high range. The

same can be expected early Thursday, though it should pick up a tad in

the late afternoon. On Friday, however, a new northwest swell will make

its way in and will provide some waist- to chest-highs. A slight increase

is expected Saturday.
