Persons with allergies/respiratory illnesses should take the necessary precautions.
Moderate sea conditions, with waves up to 7 feet are forecast for this period. Seas are expected to peak up to 8 feet on Friday before quickly subsiding on Saturday. Small craft operators and sea bathers should exercise caution.
