Favorable conditions in the short term with rough conditions later
this week. A gentle to moderate northerly breeze and moderate NW
swell will continue through Tuesday. Late Wednesday winds will
flip to southerly and increase to a strong breeze across the
coastal waters. Winds will remain moderate to strong and gradually
veer back to NW through the day Thursday. These winds, combined
with a building NW swell, will generate rough waves. While the
winds decrease Friday, the high swell continues to build with
significant wave heights reaching up to 15 feet before
diminishing through the weekend.
