Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

Some chance for drizzle and maybe even a touch of rain this morning as

we start out in the low 50s with a few gusts of wind to add to the gloom.

The sun should peak through in the early afternoon as we reach a high

in the low 60s. Wind gusts will reach close to 30 mph. They’ll taper off

after the sun goes down.

BOATING FORECAST

The wind will increase throughout the day on the inner waters. After

starting from the west at 10 knots, they’ll build to 20 knots by the

afternoon. Wind waves will be 1 to 3 feet on a swell from the southwest

at 2 to 3 feet. Some chance of rain early. The wind will decrease come

nightfall.

There may be a small-craft advisory on the outer waters as the winds

in the afternoon will pick up to 25 knots on a 3- to 4-foot southwest

swell. The wind will continue strong through the night as a northwest

swell appears at 3 to 5 feet.

SURF

Some more painfully not-quite-there surf. More chest-high sets that

don’t have much to them. Rumors of a southwest swell for next week are

out there.
