If you’re heading to the beach this weekend, bring an extra towel or a light sweatshirt.
With a continuing onshore flow, delivering winds out of the east and northeast, temperatures will be in the lower to middle 70s at the beaches, according to the National Weather Service.
On Saturday, NOAA forecasts mainly overcast conditions, with a slight chance of a shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon.
With high pressure building, conditions then improve for Sunday, with mostly sunny conditions and just a bit cooler than Saturday.
Ocean temperatures are in the lower to middle 70s Friday and will remain warm with the onshore flow.
But there may be a moderate risk of rip current development this weekend with an easterly swell of three to four feet and water building in behind sandbars due to the persistent onshore flow, the National Weather Service advises.
