.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

The rip current risk will continue to be high today as strong southeast
wind results in elevated surf. Wind and surf are expected to remain
elevated through at least Monday with a high rip current risk
continuing. A decrease in wind and surf is expected to start on
Tuesday, but long wave periods and onshore flow may allow the high
rip current risk to linger into the middle of the week.
