.SYNOPSIS...

Gentle to moderate north-northeasterly winds induced by building
surface high pressure will make for favorable boating conditions

changes to the winds in the afternoon, but winds will generally
remain under 15 knots. An increase in easterly flow is likely by
Friday which could lead to cautionary conditions heading into the
weekend. Rain is not expected until late in the weekend.
