Ocean Safety officials are advising no swimming or snorkeling at all north -facing

effect through Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). The
advisory may be extended or modified as conditions develop.
Beachgoers are urged to heed all posted warnings and advisories, speak to a county
lifeguard before entering the water, and use extreme caution near the shoreline.
