High Surf Advisory
Statement as of 10:31 am EST on November 9, 2009


... High surf advisory in effect until 7 PM EST this evening...

The National Weather Service in Ruskin has issued a high surf
advisory... which is in effect until 7 PM EST this evening.

Strong gusty winds and long period swells will generate surf up
to 5 feet today. There will also be a moderate risk of rip
currents. If caught in the seaward pull of a rip current... do not
attempt to move directly toward shore. Instead... move sideways
across the rip current until the pull eases... then swim back to
shore.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A high surf advisory is issued when dangerous water action is
expected along the coast. This includes rough surf... large
breaking waves... rip currents... and strong undertow.

Beach goers are urged to heed lifeguard warnings.





Lake Wind Advisory
Statement as of 10:26 am EST on November 9, 2009


... Lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM EST this
evening...

A lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 PM EST this
evening.

A strong pressure gradient remains in place due to high pressure
north of the area and Hurricane Ida moving into the central Gulf.
Winds will increase by the late morning to 20 to 25 mph with
higher gusts expected.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A lake Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds are forecast
to be 20 to 29 mph with frequent gusts to near or above gale
force for at least 3 hours. Winds of these magnitudes will
create rough conditions on larger area lakes which could produce
damage to... or flip... small pleasure craft.

Outdoor enthusiasts may wish to postpone lake related activities
until conditions improve.
