PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A beach hazards statement for elevated surf means that waves will
be high enough to cause danger to inexperienced swimmers in the
water. Elevated surf also frequently results in strong rip
currents which can drag people away from the shore and possibly
result in drowning. Always swim near a lifeguard.
A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that tides and elevated surf
will combine to generate localized flooding of low areas along the
shore.
