Its not often that ill say the taunton noaa discussion is flat out incorrect, but this evening it is awful. Saying todays swell is from kirk is painfully,short on accuracy. Leslie has been sitting in same general area since sat/sun and her swell has been hitting bouys since tuesday as the previous 7-10 box discos have also mention'd. Anyway rant over. Nice swell in newport today,lil more consistent then yesterday, caught several good waves at lower tide and will hope for more sun tommorrow! Size should stay the same as even back on sun/mon leslie had a awesome sse fetch of 45-60 mph winds pointing right at sne, and I don't think size will increase until perhaps sunday and monday as she strengthens and moves closer

Sse fetch pointing toward sne has lessen'd ironically since leslie became more symetric on tuesday. Sat-tue am her e quad was lopsided and much stronger setting up a larger fetch of sse winds then there has been for last 2.5 days, and as the storm has not really moved much closer since then the significantly smaller fetch even in the presence of scattered 5-10 mph winds is the much larger swell creating factor here, swell should decrease and level off for fri-sun am, then potentally increase sun pm and thru mon as storm finally gets closer so the swell decay factor will be a lesser issue, size will depend on e quad se wind fetch and strength of leslie

Steven today is a beauty at newport, sun came out at 1115 and has been blue skys all day, breezy w humidity and consistent overhead surf , barely ever a break to get out into the line up, rent'd a board and about to go back out as tide drops off.

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM SATURDAY TO 8 AM EDT

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GRAY HAS ISSUED A HIGH SURF

ADVISORY...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM SATURDAY TO 8 AM EDT

SUNDAY.

* LOCATION...OCEAN BEACHES OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND SOUTHERN AND

MIDCOAST MAINE.

* SURF HEIGHT...3 TO 5 FEET SATURDAY MORNING...INCREASING TO 4 TO

8 FEET BY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

* IMPACTS...LOCALLY DANGEROUS SWIMMING CONDITIONS INCLUDING STRONG

RIP CURRENTS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A RIP CURRENT...SOMETIMES MISTAKENLY CALLED AN UNDERTOW...IS A

STRONG BUT NARROW CURRENT OF WATER FLOWING FROM THE BEACH TO THE

SURF ZONE. IT CAN RAPIDLY CARRY A SWIMMER INTO DEEPER WATER AND

EXHAUST AN INDIVIDUAL TRYING TO SWIM AGAINST IT.

IF YOU ARE A POOR SWIMMER AND ARE CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...SWIM

PARALLEL TO THE BEACH UNTIL OUT OF ITS PULL. ANOTHER MEANS OF

ESCAPE FOR THOSE WHO ARE GOOD SWIMMERS IS TO RIDE THE CURRENT OUT

BEYOND THE SURF ZONE WHERE THE RIP CURRENT DISSIPATES...THEN SWIM

TOWARD SHORE OUTSIDE THE EFFECT OF THE NARROW RIP CURRENT.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SWIM BACK TO SHORE DIRECTLY AGAINST THE

CURRENT...IT CAN EXHAUST AND DROWN EVEN THE STRONGEST SWIMMER.

HEED THE ADVICE OF THE BEACH PATROL AND SWIM ONLY AT GUARDED

BEACHES. WATCH YOUR CHILDREN. BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS NEAR PIERS

AND JETTIES WHERE RIP CURRENTS CAN BE ENHANCED.

IN ADDITION...VIEWERS OF LARGE SURF SHOULD BE IN SAFE AREAS WELL

AWAY FROM POSSIBLE SPLASH OVER. INDIVIDUAL WAVES MAY BE MORE THAN

TWICE THE SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT...WHICH CAN SWEEP A PERSON INTO

THE WATER FROM WHAT MAY SEEM TO BE A SAFE VIEWING AREA. FALLING

INTO THE TURBULENT AND SOMETIMES ROCKY WATERS CAN RESULT IN

INJURY THAT REDUCES THE CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.
