REGION. ALTHOUGH WE WILL NOT GET ANY DIRECT IMPACTS FROM ISAIAS,
LONG PERIOD SWELLS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK ARE
EXPECTED TO INTERACT WITH EKMAN TRANSPORT TO PROMOTE COASTAL
FLOODING. APART FROM THE COASTAL FLOODING, HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS
WILL ALSO BE EXPECTED.
WARM TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN WITH HIGHS IN THE 90S THROUGH THE WEEK
