.Outlook (days 3-5)...A weak to moderate onshore wind Sunday will
gradually increase to moderate levels by Tuesday as low pressure
deepens over the High Plains. Dry conditions are forecast with
temperatures in the lower 80s Sunday through Tuesday. The rip
current risk will be low to moderate for the Memorial Day weekend.

* A moderate risk of rip currents means wind and/or wave conditions
  support stronger and/or more frequent rip currents.  Only
  experienced surf swimmers should enter the water. Research has
  shown rip currents are typically more frequent and stronger in
  the vicinity of jetties...inlets...and piers.

* A low risk of rip currents means that any rip currents that do
  form are likely to be weak but still may pose a danger to poor 
  swimmers. Research has shown rip currents are typically more 
  frequent in the vicinity of jetties...inlets...and piers and
  these can be quite strong on days where the overall rip current
  threat is low...especially if strong southerly or northeasterly
  winds exist.

* Wave height and period forecasts are representative of deep ocean
  waves over the offshore waters...not surf conditions.
