Advisories
HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. Life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. If you enter the surf zone, always have a floatation device with you and swim near a lifeguard if possible. If caught in a rip current, relax and float and do not swim against the current.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY in effect until 6 p.m. Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid navigating in hazardous conditions.
FOG ADVISORY in effect until 11 a.m. Dense fog will reduce visibility to 1 NM or less. If you must navigate, proceed with caution. Use proper fog signals. Make sure all running lights are on.
