    High Surf Advisory


    ... High surf advisory remains in effect until 5 am EDT Friday...

    Large swell generated by Hurricane Earl will continues to impact
    the east central Florida coastline through Friday morning. Though
    swell heights have already peaked earlier today... conditions will
    be slow to improve through the overnight hours.

    Breaking waves up to 6 to 8 feet this afternoon and evening will
    continue to produce very rough and dangerous surf and numerous rip
    currents. Tides up to 2 feet above normal are expected to produce
    runup to the dune line ..with some breaching possible. Minor beach
    erosion is possible during the next two high tide cycles.

    Times of high tide through Friday morning...

    Fri 9/3
    Daytona Beach... ..308 am
    Cape Canaveral... .248 am
    Sebastian Inlet... 306 am
    Fort Pierce... ... .323 am

    Precautionary/preparedness actions...

    A high surf advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
    the advisory area... producing rip currents and localized beach
    erosion.

    All beachgoers... including strong swimmers... are advised against
    entering the surf this afternoon and evening. The large pounding
    breakers in the surf zone can easily knock you down and disorient
    you... potentially causing injury and keeping you from safely
    coming back to shore.
