Synopsis
Generally, a gentle to moderate (BF 3-4) east to southeasterly flow is expected to persist throughout the first half of next week, with seas between 2-4 feet. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will remain possible each day, with rain chances increasing by the middle of next week as deeper moisture moves into the region. Winds may become more onshore and seas could increase somewhat ahead of an approaching cold front, though uncertainty remains regarding the timing and southward progression of the boundary.

What this buoy measures
This buoy is not reporting waves. Conditions above come from the sensors it does carry, and the forecast, tides and sun times on this page are regional rather than measured at the buoy.
