Advisories
HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS. Life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zone. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Water temperatures are in the 50s to low 60s. These cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia and physical incapacitation to anyone suddenly immersed in the water.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY in effect until midnight. Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller vessels, should avoid navigating in hazardous conditions.
