...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS REMAINS IN EFFECT
UNTIL 5 AM PDT EARLY THIS MORNING...
* SEAS...TOTAL WAVE HEIGHTS AROUND 10 FEET EARLY THIS MORNING.
THE COMBINATION OF A LONGER PERIOD PRIMARY WEST SWELL AND
SHORTER PERIOD SECONDARY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST SWELL WILL RESULT IN
CHOPPY CONDITIONS.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR HAZARDOUS SEAS MEANS THAT WAVES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE HAZARDOUS TO SMALL CRAFT. MARINERS SHOULD AVOID
SHOALING AREAS. LONG PERIOD SWELL CAN SHARPEN INTO LARGE BREAKING
WAVES IN SHOALING AREAS. IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR WAVES TO BREAK
MUCH FARTHER FROM SHOALING AREAS THAN IS NORMALLY EXPERIENCED.
REMEMBER, BREAKING WAVES CAN EASILY CAPSIZE EVEN LARGER VESSELS.
