...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IS CANCELLED...
...RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IS NO LONGER HIGH...

Buoys show that the north swell has subsided sufficiently to allow 
surf to fall below hazardous levels of 9 feet along north facing 
reefs. As a result, the risk of rip currents has also fallen to 
moderate. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Continue to exercise caution along reef lines as strong rip currents
are still possible.
