Surf and Sun

WEATHER FORECAST

Sunny and cold this morning in the low 40s, a perfect day to stay

inside and open presents -- if you have any reason to do that.

The sun will stay out strong the rest of the day, but it will only

bring temperatures in the low 60s. Clouds could move in late on a light

breeze.

BOATING FORECAST

Light offshore winds and 1-foot waves will make for a smooth Christmas

sail in the inner waters.

But a small-craft advisory is in effect for the outer waters because

of the heavy, 12-foot northwest swell. The winds will also be calm.

SURF

Waist- to chest-high surf this morning, hurt early by the tide but

helped by a light offshore wind. The real Christmas present is a few

solid swells hitting the rest of the week.
