Winds will blow from the southwest to northwest, starting as light to moderate at three to four Beaufort, before strengthening to five Beaufort in windward coastal areas by the afternoon.

The sea will be smooth to slight.

Daytime temperatures will reach highs that are significantly warm for late December, specifically:
