Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

Clouds will make themselves known today, at least a bit. Partly sunny

conditions will produce slightly cooler highs today at about 73 degrees

in Costa Mesa and 70 in Newport Beach. Overnight, Newport-Mesa will dip

into the low 60s, but it shouldn’t feel too bad. Expect much of the same

come Saturday.

BOATING FORECAST

The westerly winds won’t be as light today as they have been recently

in the harbor. But they’ll still blow their typical 10 to 15 knots both

day and night, generating waves of 2 feet and southwest swell of 3 feet.

Patchy fog will develop late.

Out farther, the northwesterly winds will be a bit stronger, blowing

10 to 20 knots, creating waves of 2 to 3 feet and a northwest swell of 6

to 8 feet. As in the harbor, fog will develop tonight.

SURF

The waves they aren’t a changin’. In other words, they’ll still be

rolling in around the knees and waist today, and they’ll continue to do

so throughout the weekend too. At least some are larger than knee-high.
