Surf is expected to reach heights of 10 to 15 feet at noon today, and continue through Wednesday evening. Moderate impacts are expected, with strong, breaking waves and strong currents, making swimming difficult and dangerous. The public should exercise caution and heed all advice from Ocean Safety officials.
