High Surf Advisory in Effect Until Noon

The National Weather Service institutes a high surf advisory, which means rip currents will be prevalent and beach erosion is possible.

A high surf advisory will remain in effect through noon Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

Meteorologists predict that waves on west-facing shores will range from 5 to 8 feet in height, with the occasional set reaching 12 feet. The high surf will persist through the afternoon.

Because of the large swell and surf, dangerous rip currents are a "certainty," and "ocean activities will be extremely hazardous for anyone," according to the NWS advisory.

Additionally, the high surf may lead to coastal flooding during high tides, the NWS said. The high tide, which will occur at 6:39 a.m., will be 4.4 feet.

People should avoid fishing or watching waves from exposed rocks or jetties because large waves may suddenly inundate areas that usually remain dry, according to the NWS.
