* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and
localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best
swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A large northeast swell combined with a north
secondary swell produced by a strong mid-latitude frontal system
and a nearby shear line will produce hazardous surf along north
facing reefs and a high risk of rip currents along north and east
facing reefs. Surf will initially be between 7 and 9 feet, building
to between 9 and 11 feet tonight.
Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers
should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.
Rip currents will be life threatening. If caught in a rip
current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If
able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to
escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
