The eyewall of Irene will pass close by Sunday, with full hurricane effects expected. Weather conditions will deteriorate Saturday into Saturday night with wind and rain increasing. Periods of heavy rain (5 to 10 inches), damaging hurricane-force winds (80-100 mph) and serious coastal and back bay flooding will occur Saturday night and Sunday. Expect significant beach erosion with a storm surge averaging 2 to 4 feet, but locally it can be higher. Waves will top seawalls late Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Could lose a few boats as I don't think many of the slips the dive boats are in offer the kind of protection needed to not sustain major damage.Hundred mile hour winds will clean the shore and the beach's of maybe everything. I'll be doing what I can to the boats but if this forecast is right I'd head to higher ground if you live down there. Capt. Bill
