If and when the competition gets under way, you can watch a live feed on line. Go to nbcbayarea. Com. And joining me now Christina Loren to give us her idea on the chances of waves and your forecast. Good morning. Good morning to you. Heres the deal. I just got off the phone with the officials from mavericks and theyll give us the word at noon today. They will likely have a decision at that point and, wref, so were about 40 minutes away from that. Predict for us. What are they going to say . I think theyre going to say yeah. I think theyre going to say yeah because the waves are here. Heres the deal, the wind might get in the way because it might make it too rough for those surfers out there. I can tell you right now these swells are big. Were expecting 50 foot he is in hawaii. And ive heard ive been reading a lot about this. Ive heard some surfers out there. This is the surf you only see a handful of opportunities to get out there and ride onceinalifetime.

If youre going to be heading out there, do keep in mind sneaker waves likely and well see the dangerous rip currents. Look at our temperatures. Ive had to bump up your numbers for the day. Something i dont like to do but i like to get it right. Were going to be about two degrees away from 80 in the east bay. Its going to be really, really warm out there. Were still getting offshore flow on the east end of the bay area. Onshore flow in San Francisco means youre going to hold on to the mid60s. So finally seeing the micro climate separation at least for today with a moderate onshore flow. As we head through tonight, High Pressure takes control yet again. That means our winds will shift right back offshore and that creates dangerous fire conditions. We are expecting the gusts to reach 35 to 45 Miles Per Hour through the east bay hills. Through the next couple of days, its the offshore wind that creates that beautiful, clean barrel that surfers love to ride. So the wind goes against the wave, blows towards the water and clears out that beautiful barrel. Thats going to be the case as we head throughout the next couple of days so really cool. Mavericks possible, rough seas ahead. Were going to let you know on nbcbayair with a. Com, my Facebook Page. I know scott is interested. He might put it on his Facebook Page at noon whether or not this will be the case. I think its going to be the story of the day. I think it will happen. Great, christina.
