Long period northeasterly swells have begun affecting local marine conditions. These swells will cause rough sea conditions across regional waters. As a result, a high surf warning is now in effect. Small craft operators and sea bathers are urged to stay on shore to prevent personal injury, loss of life or material damage.
STATE OF THE SEA: Moderate to Rough WAVES/SWELLS: 6 to 10 feet
