For the weekend, it looks like hurricane Genevieve will bring us at least a south swell. The jury is still out on any chance of moisture here, but it’s not looking likely.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.

FROM THE EDITOR
I’ve been doing Siteline for a year now, and I’m pleased to report that it has been gaining significant traction of late. I thought about doing a survey to find out what readers like and don’t like, but the heat has enervated me. That doesn’t mean I don’t crave input. So please reply to this email with any thoughts—all feedback is welcome, even the constructive kind.
