...A SMALL CRAFT WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE…
Strong winds and rough seas will persist through the next few days with waves peaking at 11 feet. Hence, the Small Craft Advisory has been upgraded to a Small Craft Warning until further notice.
Interests along the coast, such as small craft-operators, coastal facility owners and swimmers, should take the necessary actions to preserve life and property while exercising extreme caution.
As a result of the large breaking waves, hazardous conditions can be expected on our north- and east-facing shores. Other sections of our coasts could also experience locally rough seas.
Some coastal flooding is also possible in a few spots and owners of coastal facilities should try to pro-tect their possessions against destructive waves, wherever this is possible.
