A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches,

producing rip currents, sneaker waves and beach erosion. Stay

well back from the water's edge and be alert for exceptionally

high waves.



Keep away from large logs on the beach. Water running up on the

beach can easily lift or roll logs which can injure or kill

someone caught in their path.



Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
