Today at the Shores, it's looking like a pretty standard 'fair' day, perfect for a mellow cruise along the sandy slopes. The light S cross-shore wind is the best factor today, keeping the surface calm, but the biggest challenge will be the visibility. The estimated visibility today is 10-15 ft, which is a bit on the lower side for exploring the kelp forests.
