High Surf Advisory
Statement as of 6:08 am EDT on September 7, 2008


... High surf advisory in effect until 8 PM EDT this evening...

The National Weather Service in Taunton has issued a high surf
advisory... which is in effect until 8 PM EDT this evening.

Seas south of Nantucket and Marthas Vineyard started the day between
10 and 12 feet. These seas and long period swell... lingering after
the overnight passage of Tropical Storm Hanna... will bring high surf
to the South Coast.

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.

If you are a poor swimmer and are caught in a rip current... swim
parallel to the beach until out of its pull. Another means of
escape for those who are good swimmers is to ride the current out
beyond the surf zone where the rip current dissipates... then swim
toward shore outside the effect of the narrow rip current.

Do not attempt to swim back to shore directly against the
current... it can exhaust and drown even the strongest swimmer.

Heed the advice of the beach patrol and swim only at guarded
beaches. Watch your children. Be especially cautious near piers
and jetties where rip currents can be enhanced.
