Another heavy long period west swell will build into the waters late Friday night into Saturday, resulting in large breaking waves of 20 to 25 ft early Saturday morning through the afternoon. Additionally, there will be a brief period of a sneaker wave threat late Friday night. Waves could wash over jetties or rocks and into normally dry areas. Avoid area beaches this weekend, and remember to never turn your back on the ocean!
