.THE SURF ZONE FORECAST GENERAL OUTLOOK...

Surf heights are expected to be around 2 feet for much of today, along
with a long period swell. Guidance shows that we could possibly start
trending down towards a moderate by mid to late afternoon for the
beaches, but confidence was too low to remove the rip current
statement. Will need to check with beach officials in the morning to
see what conditions they`re observing and perhaps adjust things
according. Tomorrow, a moderate risk of is forecast for area beaches.
