* IMPACTS...Life-threatening swimming and surfing conditions and
  significant shoreline erosion can be expected. Numerous roads

  warning, pulling people into the sea from rocks, jetties and
  beaches. Sudden immersion in cold water can result in cold water
  shock even for the most experienced swimmers. Cold water shock
  can result in dramatic changes in breathing, heart rate and
  blood pressure, greatly increasing the risk of drowning in rough
  open waters.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.

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