A south swell from 190 degrees of 3 ft with a 15 to 17 second period will be present through Thursday. A moderate period, persistent south swell from 190 will continue into next week. A beach hazards statement for minor tidal overflow means that high astronomical tides possibly in combination with above normal surf will likely produce minor flooding of low-lying areas along the beach such as beach parking lots.

Caution should be used when in or near the water.
