WEATHER FORECAST

It won’t be quite as beautiful as Tuesday, but it’ll be a lot less

windy. At the same time, though, it’ll actually be cooler. Highs today

will be in the low 60s in Newport-Mesa.

Clouds will roll in overnight, during which temperatures will dip into

the mid-40s. But those clouds aim to make Thursday a bit wet, so get

those raincoats back out of the closet. The good news is there’s no snow

in the forecast, so go sing in that rain.

BOATING FORECAST

The northeasterly winds will blow about 20 knots in the harbor this

afternoon, with waves of about 3 feet and a west swell of 3 feet. The

winds will become light into the night, and the swell will pick up to 4

feet.

Out farther, the northeasterly winds will blow light today at 10

knots, quite the departure from Tuesday’s high winds. This evening, winds

will become southerly and blow 10 to 15 knots, with waves of about 2 feet

and a northwest swell of 7 feet.

SURF

Don’t even bother hitting the beaches today as waves in the knee- to

waist-high range are expected. Thursday will be much of the same, though

things should pick up Friday.
