A HIGH SURF ADVISORY MEANS THAT HIGH SURF WILL AFFECT BEACHES IN THE ADVISORY AREA... PRODUCING RIP CURRENTS AND LOCALIZED BEACH EROSION.
THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. RIP CURRENTS ARE POWERFUL CHANNELS OF WATER FLOWING QUICKLY AWAY FROM SHORE... WHICH OCCUR MOST OFTEN AT LOW SPOTS OR BREAKS IN THE SANDBAR AND IN THE VICINITY OF STRUCTURES SUCH AS GROINS... JETTIES AND PIERS. RIP CURRENTS WILL BE LIFE- THREATENING. LARGE BREAKERS CAN KNOCK YOU DOWN AND MAKE YOU SUSCEPTIBLE TO RIP CURRENTS. STAY OUT OF THE WATER UNTIL CONDITIONS IMPROVE.
A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY INDICATES THAT ONSHORE WINDS AND TIDES WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE FLOODING OF LOW AREAS ALONG THE SHORE.
