Low water levels are expected during the low tide cycle on Tuesday.
Light to moderate onshore flow is expected through Wednesday.
Onshore flow is expected to increase later in the week which may
result in increasing swell. We will keep an eye out for sea fog
potential Thursday and Friday nights, but somewhat unfavorable
wind speeds may be limiting factors.
