...high surf advisory now in effect until 6 pm edt tuesday...

* location...along ocean exposed beaches on the south coasts of 
  massachusetts and rhode island.

* timing...late today through tuesday.

* surf and rip current risk...increasing long period southerly
  swell from distant hurricane maria will be moving into the south
  coastal waters through tuesday. this will result in rather high
  surf along the ocean exposed coastline and a high risk of 
  dangerous rip currents.

* shoreline impacts...areas of beach erosion.

precautionary/preparedness actions...

a rip current...sometimes mistakenly called an undertow...is a
strong but narrow current of water flowing from the beach to the
surf zone. it can rapidly carry a swimmer into deeper water...and
exhaust an individual trying to swim against it.

in addition...viewers of large surf should stay in safe areas well
away from possible splashover. individual waves may be more than
twice the average wave height...which can sweep a person into the
water from what may seem to be a safe viewing area. falling into
turbulent and sometimes rocky waters can result in injury that
reduces the chance of survival.

...beach hazards statement remains in effect through this
evening...
...high surf advisory remains in effect until 8 pm edt monday...

* hazards...a high threat of strong rip current and dangerous 
  shore break. large surf will lead to beach erosion and possibly
  ocean overwash around the time of high tide. 

* location...all beaches.

* timing and tides...the most likely time for strong rip currents
  is a couple of hours either side of low tide, which will occur
  around 5 pm today.

* impacts...powerful waves and rip currents which could result 
  in injuries to anyone who enters the surf.

* surf height...5 to 8 feet.

precautionary/preparedness actions...

if caught in a rip current remain calm. don't fight the current.
swim in a direction following the shoreline. when out of the
current, swim back to shore. if tired, float or tread water until
out of the rip current. if unable to escape, face the shore and
call or wave for help.

shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. the
most common injuries with strong shore break are neck and back
injuries, which most often occur when the powerful surf throws a
swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom. it is extremely
important to protect your head and neck whenever you are in
breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at all
times.

a high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and
dangerous swimming conditions.
