The weather remains unsettled with light drizzle likely throughout the day and significant cloud cover blocking the sun. It will be quite breezy along the shoreline, with winds strong enough to make sitting on the sand uncomfortable. Additionally, waves are running a bit high, which adds to the rough conditions. It is best to skip the beach today and plan your visit for when the skies are clearer and the wind has settled.
