Discussion: The general theme of today will be starting sunny and ending cloudy as a low pressure disturbance approaches for Saturday rainfall. Race hours should be dry today however despite the increase in cloud cover. Temperatures should struggle to break 80 in the Sandy Hook Bay. Winds should remain calm and waffling out of the S/SE. Given our warm-sector placement, a sea breeze is possible mid-race before too many clouds roll in. This is reflected in the wind column of the table above. Not seeing any land breeze issues. Wave heights in the bay should be relatively calm again aside from the normal chop you’ve now become used to. It has been an honor providing your racing forecast and I hope to see you again for any future North American Hobie championships that take place near New Jersey. Everyone have a great day of racing and please be safe! JC
