Offshore wind. The coast faces east and the wind blows from land out to sea: calm shore and clean waves, but watch the drift out to sea.

Water temperature
Water temperature →The satellite measured 3.6 °F more 2 days ago than the model gives now: the water is probably warmer than the forecast says.
Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 66.5 °F by Wednesday 4.
Water colder than normal for late October (−1.3 °F).
