WEATHER FORECAST

A cloudy morning starts things off in the low 50s in most areas. There

might be a sign or two of drizzle, but nothing to worry about.

The clouds will stick around throughout the day, keeping us cooler

than the past days. Temperatures will reach into the mid-60s, even cooler

by the water. In the afternoon, the wind will pick up again, with some

strong 23-mph gusts.

BOATING FORECAST

After a calm but maybe drizzly morning, coastal waters will experience

afternoon winds from the west and northwest at 10 to 20 knots, producing

waves of 3 feet at most. Stronger gusts are possible late.

The deeper waters will have much the same conditions, with a slightly

stronger west swell of 7 to 9 feet. Winds at night might reach 25 knots.

SURF

The mix of a southwest and west swell builds a little today for waves

pushing chest high in most spots, with a few good sections on the better

sets. Big tide swing this morning, though.
