Outlook summary: High E to ENE winds, flat seas inshore on Saturday. Highs near 70. Sunday light and variable wind, possible showers.
BTW - anyone have any idea what happened yesterday: rain in the morning and Santa Ana in the afternoon. All the old-timers tell me that moisture does not precede a Santa Ana.
