The National Weather Service issued a high surf advisory along all east facing shores until 6 p.m. Sunday because of surf generated by former Hurricane Seymour and breezy tradewinds.

The tradewinds and hurricane surf will generate wave heights of between 6 and 8 feet, officials said.

Beach-goers should expect strong breaking waves, moderate impacts and strong longshore and rip currents, which will make swimming difficult and dangerous, forecasters said.

Beachgoers, swimmers and surfers are urged to heed advice given by lifeguards.

Hurricane Seymour reached major category 4 hurricane status earlier this week and waves generated by the storm will be arriving on east shores through the weekend.
