BEACHES

High tides of 6.5 to 7 feet this weekend could lead to minor coastal overflow/flooding for beaches and flood-prone beach lots and walkways. In addition, surf increases Sunday, with breaking waves of 4 to 6 feet with sets to 7 feet, which will lead to hazardous swimming conditions and contribute to potential coastal flooding. Surf decreases Monday but remains elevated in the morning. See the Beach Hazards Statement for more details.
