... High surf advisory in effect until 9 PM PST this evening...
The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a high surf
advisory... which is in effect until 9 PM PST this evening.
Strong northwest winds in the offshore waters earlier today have
generated 19 to 21 foot waves that are decaying onto the
Washington coastal waters this afternoon. Seas will gradually
subside later this evening.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
It is extremely dangerous to fish or observe waves from rocks
during high surf conditions. Unwary beach walkers can be caught
off guard as waves suddenly race farther up the beach than normal.
