Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

We’ll see fog and low clouds early, but the sun should part them early

this afternoon, with highs in the mid-70s in Costa Mesa and the upper 60s

in Newport Beach. Lows will bottom out in the low 60s.

The same will arrive on Saturday, though highs should start inching

upward. By Sunday, the highs should reach the 80s in Costa Mesa and the

70s in Newport Beach. Have a great weekend.

BOATING FORECAST

The southwesterly winds will blow 10 to 15 knots in the inner waters

today, with 2-foot waves and a southwest swell of 4 feet.

Out farther, the northwesterly winds will start out light at 10 to 15

knots, but will increase this afternoon as a small-craft advisory goes

into effect. It is then that one can expect 15- to 25-knot winds

accompanied by combined seas of 7 to 10 feet. The same will be found this

evening, though the winds should ease later into the night. Fog will roll

in late.

SURF

Though the latest southwest swell arrives today, it will probably only

produce knee- to waist-highs today. It should pick up more Saturday

afternoon when waist- to chest-highs are found. On Sunday, it’ll peak and

we’ll see mostly chest- to shoulder-highs at best.
