Rip currents will be life threatening.

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 and the beach patrol.
Pay attention to flags and posted signs.

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current remain calm.
Don't fight the current. Swim in a direction following the
shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave
for help. If tired, float or tread water until out of the rip
current.

* TIDAL DEPARTURE...Tides around 1.5 foot above predicted values
  during tonight's and Saturday morning's high tide cycles. 
  Astronomically high tides with the full moon and strong onshore 
  winds will contribute to elevated water levels during times of 
  high tide.

* COASTAL FLOOD IMPACTS...Minor flooding will be possible during 
  times of high tide through Saturday morning.

* SURF AND RIP CURRENT RISK...Rough and dangerous surf will result
  in a moderate to high risk of rip currents at all area beaches. 
  Surf heights will increase to heights of 6 to 9 feet through 
  tonight.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Rough surf will likely result in minor to
  moderate beach erosion around times of high tide during this
  event through Saturday morning. 

* TIMING...Minor Flooding during high tide cycles tonight and
  Saturday morning.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area, producing rip currents and localized beach
erosion.

A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

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. Pay attention to flags and posted signs.
