High Surf, Cameron

When: October 4, 3:00 PM CST to October 5, 3:00 AM CST
Where: Cameron forecast zone
Reported by: GOVT OFFICIAL
Coordinates: 26.152, -97.453 (the zone’s center; the record gives no point)

Swells that developed over the Gulf of Mexico in association with a tight surface pressure gradient between Tropical Storm Stan and high pressure located over the eastern United States, arrived on the coastlines of South Padre Island. These swells produce heavy surf, dangerous rip currents, and minor tidal overflow. Minor damage to sand dunes was reported.

What these are

High Surf: Large waves breaking on the shore that caused damage, erosion or casualties.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
