Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

We’ll reach a happy medium today as the low morning clouds depart

early and the sun shines brightly this afternoon. Highs, meanwhile, will

be about 70 degrees in Costa Mesa, while coastal Newport Beach registers

in the mid-60s. Lows will continue to drop into the mid-50s throughout

the week.

Come Friday, highs should heat up a tad to about 72. Overall, it’s

looking like a mostly sunny week, though don’t be surprised if a few

clouds stick around next week.

Fog and low clouds will be found early. The southwesterly winds will

blow their typical 10 to 15 knots in the inner waters this afternoon,

with 2-foot waves and a west swell of 5 to 7 feet. The same will be found

this evening, though fog will return late.

Out farther, the northwesterly winds will blow stronger at 15 to 25

knots, with 2- to 4-foot waves and a northwest swell of 9 to 11 feet. The

same will be found this evening. Fog will accumulate tonight.

Waves will mostly be in the knee- to waist-high range, with the
