Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

It should be beautiful and sunny this afternoon, with highs darting

into the mid-70s in Newport-Mesa. But with such wonderful skies come

breezes, some of which will blow 15 to 25 mph at times. It’ll get windier

into the evening. Overnight lows will dip into the low 50s.

Expect similar sunniness and slightly warmer readings Friday but

without the winds.

BOATING FORECAST

The northeasterly winds will blow their typical 10 to 15 knots this

afternoon in the inner waters, with 2-foot waves and a west swell of 4

feet. Later, not much will change.

Out farther, the winds will blow about 10 to 15 knots as well, with

2-foot waves and a northwest swell of 6 feet. The conditions will be

similar later.

SURF

Thanks to a slight boost in the northwest swell, the waves will be in

the waist- to chest-high range today. Expect slightly smaller surf come

Thursday. Another northwest swell will roll in Sunday.
