...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM AST THURSDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Life-threatening rip currents due to breaking waves
  between 10 and 11 feet and occasionally higher.

* WHERE...Beaches of Rincon and Aguada.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory until 6 AM AST Thursday. For
  the High Rip Current Risk remains through Thursday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents that can sweep even the best swimmers
  away from shore into deeper water where it becomes difficult to
  return to safety. High waves that can wash over jetties and
  sweep people and pets onto jagged rocks. Rough surf may also
  knock you down. Large breaking waves will result in localized
  beach/dune structure erosion and dangerous swimming conditions.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and
signs.

If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain
calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
