A fairly typical summer pattern is expected with surf heights of 1
to 2 feet and an afternoon onshore sea breeze. A moderate risk of
rip currents is expected today and Tuesday afternoon. Increasing
winds and seas are forecast to arrive as early as Tuesday night and
will likely lead to a high risk of rip currents at most area beaches
by mid-week. We`ll also monitor the potential for any high surf
concerns Wednesday, Thursday or Friday depending on if the
disturbance in the Gulf develops or not.
Based on communication with area beach officials, the following flags
are flying at area beaches:
