High Surf Advisory Statement as of 4:46 PM EDT on July 24, 2008

... High surf advisory remains in effect until 8 am EDT Friday...

A high surf advisory remains in effect until 8 am EDT Friday.

Building seas south of New England will reach 8 to 10 feet this
evening and then diminish below 7 feet by Friday morning.

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.
