Surf and sun

THE WEATHER FORECAST

Though it’ll start off a bit cloudy, the sun will dominate the

afternoon and early evening, showing its strength at 74 degrees at about

1 p.m. It should feel a few degrees warmer, though it will still fall

short of typical July temperatures.

Meanwhile, the overnight low of 64 will feel a bit cooler.

Everyone out in the sun should put on sunscreen, as the UV index will

hit 10 by about 1 p.m.

Going into the weekend, temperatures will be warmer, with Saturday at

75 and Sunday at 77. Again, afternoon UV levels should hover around 9 and

10.

THE BOATING FORECAST

Those on the inner waters should expect a light afternoon wind at 10

to 15 knots with 2-foot waves. Fog may play a factor in some areas in the

morning. By nightfall, the same conditions should be expected, though the

wind may become lighter. Again, fog will roll in.

Those on the outer waters should expected much of the same during the

SURF

A slow-building southwest swell will continue this afternoon into

Saturday and may produce some 5- and 6-footers in the area, though waist-

to shoulder-high surf will be the norm.

The generous surf will begin subsiding by Sunday, a trend that will

continue into next week.
