NSRI is appealing to shoreline anglers, boaters, commercial seafarers, and coastal hikers to be aware of rough sea conditions and the impact of forecast weather affecting the coastline and inland.
- Boaters and commercial seafarers should not launch in adverse weather conditions unless absolutely necessary and wear life-jackets when your vessel is underway or during commercial operations at sea.
- Shoreline anglers and coastal hikers should be aware of the daily 2 high tides and 2 low tides and be cautious along the shoreline.
- Bathers, surfers, paddlers, sail boarders and beach goers should be cautious of rough seas, strong winds and strong rip currents during adverse weather affected sea conditions and prepare accordingly without taking risks.
- Do not attempt to cross through rivers and roadways affected by flooding or cross over bridges swamped by flood waters.
