    WHAT: For the Beach Hazards Statement, An increased risk for sneaker waves and strong rip currents with breaking waves of 15 to 20 ft expected. For the High Surf Warning, Dangerously large breaking waves of 25 to 35 ft, with occasional sets of 40 to 50 ft at favored breakpoints. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, large breaking waves will run up beaches and crash over seawalls, inundating adjacent, low-lying infrastructure.

    If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.

    Everyone should remain out of the water due to life-threatening surf conditions. Stay off of jetties, piers, and other waterside infrastructure.
