...HIGH SURF WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST /6 AM CST/
SATURDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING...

* PEAK SURF...8 to 10 feet.

* TIMING...Surf will build late tonight and reach peak values on 
  Friday morning. Surf will begin to subside Friday night. 

* IMPACTS...Large and battering surf will cause significant 
  beach erosion and damage to docks and access ramps along the 
  immediate coast. Some vulnerable coastal roadways may be 
  damaged. Extremely strong and deadly rip currents are 
  expected. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A High Surf Warning indicates that dangerous, battering waves
will pound the shoreline. This will result in life-threatening
conditions.

There is a high risk of rip currents.

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.
