...Becoming a Moderate Risk This Afternoon...

Rip Current Risk:      High Risk. Life threatening rip currents
                       are likely in the surf zone. A High Risk of  
                       rip currents means that surf conditions are 
                       dangerous for all swimmers.

                       Moderate Risk. Life threatening rip currents
                       are possible in the surf zone. Remember to 
                       swim near a lifeguard and with a non-inflatable
                       flotation device, such as a life jacket or
                       boogie board.

Lightning Risk:	       Low early this morning, becoming none by late 
                       morning.

                       and use sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. Remain in
                       the shade if possible.

Outlook:               There is a high risk of rip currents early this 
                       morning becoming moderate by late this morning. 
                       The rip current risk is expected to remain elevated 
                       through Friday before decreasing into the weekend, 
                       and is expected to return early next week. Afternoon 
                       temperatures will remain in the mid to upper 70s 
                       to around 80 degrees for the next several days. 
                       Drier weather is expected behind last night's cold 
                       front into the weekend.
