Beach Report: Monday Brings Clouds and More Warm Water

On the beach at 14th Street on Monday morning, a last bit of clear sky is giving way to clouds, and the ocean water temperature is 72 degrees.

A northeast wind is blowing and creating choppy surf.

The official forecast calls for a slight chance of showers before 2 p.m. Otherwise, it should be cloudy with a high near 77. East winds of 7 to 14 mph are predicted.

Surf: Not much to work with on Monday morning. An onshore wind isn't strong enough to generate much swell, but it's creating choppy conditions. High tide is 11:41 a.m. today.

Traffic: No issues today.
