For west facing reefs, expect hazardous surf at 11 to 14 feet through Sunday.

 

Surf will slowly diminish starting later Sunday but will remain hazardous through Wednesday.

 

For south facing shores, expect hazardous surf at 7 to 10 feet

The public is being advised to avoid venturing out to exposed reef lines and beaches, especially those facing west and south, as rip currents will be life threatening. (EOC)
