All are asked to exercise extreme caution when using the northern and eastern coastal waters.
A high surf advisory means that dangerous surfs of two to three meters or 6 to 10 feet will affect
some coastlines in the advisory area, producing hazardous conditions.
Please continue to monitor these hazardous, life-threatening marine conditions and stay tuned to
updates coming out of the Meteorological Office
