Description:
* WHAT...Elevated surf of 3-5 feet with sets up to 6 feet through

expected during high tides. Additionally, elevated surf will
lead to strong rip currents.

high astronomical tides in combination with above normal surf
will likely produce minor flooding of low-lying areas along the
beach such as beach parking lots. Coastal officials should take
the necessary precautionary measures to safeguard their beaches.
