AFTERNOON...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 9 to

  currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into
  deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Elevated swells emanating from the
  southwesterly monsoon surge and Typhoon Choi-wan (26W) to the
  north will allow advisory-level surf and a high risk of rip
  currents to continue longer than previously anticipated. A
  Coastal Flood Statement remains in effect as minor coastal
  flooding is expected.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers
should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.

Rip currents will be life threatening. If caught in a rip
current, relax and float. Don`t swim against the current. If able,
swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape,
face the shore and call or wave for help.
