Another Round of Dangerous High Surf

Another round of dangerous high surf will be taking place this Friday through Sunday. When the peak swell arrives in the later part of the morning on Friday, it could produce waves running up to 15 feet with some standout locations seeing waves of up to 20 feet. Lifeguards recommend that only expert surfers enter the ocean during these conditions. Please know your limits! Beach walking during these high surf events is also not recommended as it can be very dangerous, even during low tide. When in doubt, talk to a lifeguard about beach and water safety.
