A high surf advisory remains in effect until 1 PM EST this afternoon.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A high surf advisory means that large breaking waves are expected along the coast in the advisory area. The individual waves can run up the slope of the beach much further than normal. This can result in significant beach erosion and over-topping of barriers along the beach.
People are urged to remain away from rocks... sea walls or jetties. The size of the incoming waves will vary greatly over short periods of time and you can be unexpectedly washed into the ocean.
