329 PM EDT Tue Apr 16 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Surface high pressure maintains favorable boating conditions into
the weekend with a seabreeze each afternoon prompting an onshore
wind just offshore. By Sunday, a cold front sagging towards the
waters brings back rain chances and the potential for
thunderstorms. Winds turn more northerly behind the front on
Monday. Overall, forecast winds and seas aim to stay below
cautionary levels.
