bay temperature: 74 degrees.
tides: a high at 10 59 am. a low at 6 o9 pm.
outlook: moderate to strong south southeast flow over the

.outlook (days 3-5)...moderate onshore wind will continue through
the early part of the week. mainly dry conditions are forecast
with temperatures in the mid 80s. the rip current risk will remain
low to moderate.
* a low risk of rip currents means that any rip currents that do
form are likely to be weak but still may pose a danger to poor
swimmers. research has shown rip currents are typically more
frequent in the vicinity of jetties...inlets...and piers and
these can be quite strong on days where the overall rip current
threat is low...especially if strong southerly or northeasterly
winds exist.
* wave height and period forecasts are representative of deep ocean
waves over the offshore waters...not surf conditions.
