PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions. It is extremely dangerous to fish or

high surf conditions. Very large waves can suddenly sweep across
previously dry areas. Swimming or surfing in these waves may be
dangerous for anyone due to the powerful waves and strong rip
currents.
