		<description><![CDATA[ Wow, the main thing in this video is the truck going into the surf.  I've had rental trucks stuck in the Costa Rica mud trying to cross riverbeds in the past and had my car get stuck in New Smyrna with an incoming tide, but never got totally emerged in the water like that!  <br /><br />The surfing is pretty good to! <br /><br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uiH14UnVGPs?si=QmfelZehZzy59tjH" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Tropical Weather Discussion<br />NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL<br />1815 UTC Mon Jun 1 2026<br /><br />Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America<br />Gulf of America, Caribbean Sea, northern sections of South<br />America, and Atlantic Ocean to the African coast from the<br />Equator to 31N. The following information is based on satellite<br />imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis.<br /><br />Based on 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through<br />1700 UTC.<br /><br />...SPECIAL FEATURES...<br /><br />Atlantic Gale Warning: A low pressure area and attendant front <br />moving off the Georgia coast will reach from Bermuda to as far <br />south as the northern Bahamas late Tue. Expect strong SW winds <br />ahead of the low pressure and front Tue, with near gale to gale- <br />force winds and rough to very rough seas expected southeast of <br />Bermuda Tue afternoon. The front will stall from Bermuda to the <br />northern Bahamas Tue night with winds dropping below gale force by<br />Wed morning.<br /><br />Please read the latest High Seas and Offshore Waters Forecast<br />issued by the National Hurricane Center at websites -<br />https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml and<br />https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/marine/offshores.php for more details.<br /><br />...TROPICAL WAVES...<br /><br />An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 34W, south of 17N and <br />moving westward around 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is<br />noted from 05N-11N between 31W-42W.<br /><br />A western Caribbean tropical wave is along 83W, south of 15N and <br />moving westward at around 15-20 kt. No significant deep convection<br />is present with this tropical wave.<br /> <br />...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...<br /><br />The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of Guinea<br />Bissau near 11N15W and extends to 07N31W. The ITCZ extends from<br />that point to the Brazil coast near 04N51W. Scattered moderate <br />convection is evident from 04N-07N east of 20W and from 37W-51W.<br /><br />...GULF OF AMERICA...<br /><br />A sharp upper-level trough along the NE Mexico coast is helping <br />to promote isolated moderate convection north of 21N between<br />88W-95W. Except near these thunderstorms, winds across the Gulf <br />are gentle with seas 1-4 ft due to weak ridging predominating.<br /><br />For the forecast, the ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf <br />waters into midweek supporting gentle to moderate E to SE winds <br />with moderate seas. The exception will be evening pulses of fresh <br />winds off the northern Yucatan Peninsula and in the central Gulf <br />through the same period. An upper-level trough across the western <br />Gulf will continue to support showers and thunderstorms across the<br />east and central Gulf through mid week. Expect fresh to strong E <br />winds and moderate to rough seas across the NE Gulf Wed and Wed <br />night as a frontal boundary reaches the area. Looking ahead, these<br />winds and seas will diminish Thu through Fri as the front stalls <br />and weakens from the southeast Gulf to the north-central Gulf. <br /><br />...CARIBBEAN SEA...<br /><br />A tight pressure gradient between a ridge north of the Greater<br />Antilles and a 1008 mb Colombian Low will continue to produce<br />fresh to strong trades over the S central Caribbean for the next<br />several days. Elsewhere winds are moderate or weaker. Seas are 6-8<br />ft over the central Caribbean and 3-6 ft elsewhere. No significant<br />deep convection is occurring over the Caribbean this afternoon.<br /><br />For the forecast, the Atlantic ridge combined with the Colombian low<br />will support moderate to fresh trade winds across most of the<br />basin, with fresh to strong winds and rough seas over the south-<br />central Caribbean. The area of fresh to strong winds and rough <br />seas will expand across the east and central Caribbean tonight <br />into Tue as the ridge north of the area strengthens. Looking <br />ahead, winds and seas will diminish slightly starting late Wed as <br />the ridge north of the basin weakens. Farther west, strong winds <br />will pulse across the Gulf of Honduras mainly at night through <br />Fri.<br /><br />...ATLANTIC OCEAN...<br /><br />Please read the Special Features section about a Gale Warning for<br />waters southeast of Bermuda Tue evening.<br /><br />A cold front extends from 31N58W to 27N63W, where it transitions<br />to a stationary front to 25N71W. While winds are generally<br />moderate or weaker in association with the frontal boundary,<br />scattered moderate convection is occurring within 90 NM of the<br />front. Farther west, frequent moderate and scattered strong<br />convection is occurring north of 25N between 71W-78W. These<br />thunderstorms are due to a 1010 mb low just north of our waters<br />near 32N77W with an associated trough from the center of the low<br />to 28N77W. The moderate pressure gradient ridging from an Azores<br />High southward to lower pressure along the ITCZ is forcing<br />moderate to fresh NE to E trades south of 25N. Seas are 6-9 ft<br />north of 29N and east of 60W with seas 2-5 ft elsewhere.<br /><br />For the forecast west of 55W, a cold front extending from 31N57W <br />to 22N63W, then continuing as a stationary front to 24N71W. The <br />cold front portion is shifting eastward ahead of a low pressure <br />area and attendant front moving off the Georgia coast. The low <br />pressure will move toward Bermuda through late Tue, with a <br />trailing cold front reaching as far south as the northern Bahamas.<br />Expect strong SW winds ahead of the low pressure and front Tue, <br />with near gale to gale-force winds and rough to very rough seas <br />expected southeast of Bermuda Tue afternoon. The front will stall <br />from Bermuda to the northern Bahamas Tue night, ahead of a <br />reinforcing front moving into the waters off northeast Florida <br />accompanied by strong to near-gale force winds and rough seas. <br />Looking ahead, winds and seas will diminish into Fri after the <br />fronts merge, then weaken in place from Bermuda to the northern <br />Bahamas with broad high pressure building off the Carolinas. <br />Farther south, strong winds may pulse off the northern coast of <br />Hispaniola Tue night. <br /><br />$$<br />Landsea<br />  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The rescue started near the long jetty (to the left) and a small gang of lifeguards joined by Wedge regulars took advantage of a modest longshore current to the right to get to where it was actually possible to get to shore. <br /><br />The side wave, moving left to right, was definitely operating and adding to the difficulty of getting from very shallow water to dry sand.<br /><br />Really rough water, but the little crowd worked effectively and the rescued guy made it to shore undamaged.<br /><br /><iframe width="920" height="517" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ffwlHzgw6DA" title="Newport Beach lifeguards battle strong rip tide to rescue swimmer" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>]]></description>
