BOATING FORECAST
The northwesterly winds will blow 20 to 30 knots in the inner waters
this afternoon, with 3- to 5-foot waves and a west swell of 8 to 12 feet.
Later, the winds will increase to 15 to 25 knots, with 2- to 4-foot waves
and a west swell of 6 to 10 feet.
On Wednesday, a gale warning went into effect, so the same is possible
today out farther. The northwesterly winds will blow 25 to 35 knots, with
combined seas of 14 to 17 feet this afternoon. Later, the winds will ease
a tad to 20 to 30 knots, with 3- to 5-foot waves and a northwest swell of
11 to 15 feet.
SURF
Look for surf in the head-high range today, but with the strong winds,
conditions may not be ideal. Friday’s looking a bit smaller and the
weekend will be even smaller. Monday should present the latest northwest
swell.
