Saturday August 06, 2011

The fair weather, we have been experiencing, will continue through today. Skies will be mostly sunny, with some mid to high level cloudiness. Winds will be from the ESE, at 5 to 10 mph or less, this morning; shifting to ENE this afternoon and increasing in strength to 15 to 20 mph. The sea state will be smooth to moderate, at 1 to 4 feet in height. 

Expect winds to strengthen and seas to build, beginning tomorrow, as the surface trough responsible for the present weather conditions dissipates.

The air temperatures will be in the 80s to the mid 90s (F) or 27 to 32 (C). The heat index remains at 101F or 38C.

At depth, ocean water temperatures are about 82F to 84F or 28C to 29C . Visibility is generally 60 to 80 feet.
