Surf and sun

THE WEATHER FORECAST

It may feel like 80 degrees, but temperatures will still fall shy of

that mark. Instead, it should get up to about 78 with mostly sunny

conditions. The clouds that have continued to hover around recently

should dissipate early.

While the temperatures are still a bit cool for mid-July, they

shouldn’t fool anyone into forgetting the sunscreen. UV levels are

expected to top out at 10 this afternoon.

Though it will feel warmer than it is this afternoon, it will feel

cooler this evening than the 67-degree reading. By night, one should

expect a low of 64.

Get ready for a warm weekend as temperatures are still expected to

reach at least 80.

THE BOATING FORECAST

As has been typical recently in the inner waters, western winds of 10

to 15 knots will fly in to produce 2-foot waves. Boaters should expect

some areas of fog in the morning.

The same should be expected in the outer waters, as well, with 10 to

15 knot northwesterly winds and 2-foot waves. Fog may also play a factor

in the morning.

SURF

A new southwest swell from the New Zealand area will produce

inconsistent surf. Some of it should be of decent size in the form of

waist- to shoulder-high waves by afternoon with fair conditions, though

even better surf can be expected into the weekend.

The good spots should expect 3- to 4-foot surf with a few 5-footers

popping in Friday into the weekend. The swell will continue filling in

through Friday and into Saturday morning, though it’s expected to fade by

Sunday.
