Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

Take advantage of the sun early this week because the latter half of

it appears cloudy. That doesn’t mean it will rain necessarily, but it

won’t be quite a warm and sunny as it has been.

Today, it will be sunny as it was on the weekend, though the winds

will die off. Highs will fall in the mid-70s in Newport-Mesa, so it’s

still nothing to complain about. Lows will dip into the mid-40s.

On Tuesday, the clouds will hover early, but will burn off for another

sunny, though cooler day. Highs will leave the 70s and return to the 60s

on Wednesday.

BOATING FORECAST

While there will be strong wind gusts early this morning, the rest of

the day should be typical for the inner waters. The winds will blow about

10 knots, with 2-foot waves and a west swell of 3 to 5 feet. Not much

will change this evening.

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

to 3-foot waves and a northwest swell of 6 to 8 feet. Not much will

change later.

SURF

The latest northwest swell will drop in today, generating waves in the

waist- to chest-high range. Standout spots will see head-highs. Size will

decrease a bit on Tuesday.
