Beachgoers should not enter the water, no matter their swimming ability, during the beach safety alert period, due to the high surf and deteriorating ocean conditions.

People who come to the beach should exercise extreme caution and be aware of higher-than-normal tides, strong rushing water and beach erosion. Follow all warnings from local authorities and consider not entering the beach if little to no beach is present.
