What is a Beach Hazards Statement?

The local NWS office expects a significant beach hazard such as dangerous currents, high waves, cold water, or sneaker waves.

What to do

Use the live bulletin first

Read the current statement because the specific beach hazard varies by location.
Follow lifeguards, beach closures, and the bulletin's instructions before entering the water.
Stay away from piers, jetties, and breakwalls when the statement warns of waves or currents.
