flooding is possible over low-lying coastal areas including
beaches, beach parking lots and harbor walkways, and with
vulnerable coastal roadways during the highest surf and tides.

in a rip current, relax and float. Don`t swim against the
current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If
unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

will pound the shoreline. This will result in life-threatening
conditions. Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current,
relax and float. Don`t swim against the current. If able, swim in

higher on the beaches than normal. These powerful waves can
sweep people off jetties and other exposed rocks. They can also
easily move large logs and other beach debris.
