Light to moderate southeast winds are expected through the end of
the week. Seas will increase later in the week due to the
increasing southeasterly fetch. Conditions are expected to become
somewhat favorable for patchy sea fog late Tuesday through

risk. Rain chances return by the second half of the week.
