This is Nick. He is the lifeguard on duty today at Grandview Beach in Leucadia. He is the only one on duty right now and is determining critical information that could help ensure a good time with minimal injury. He is the guy that could save your life. So be sure to check in with the lifeguard on duty, especially if you are unfamiliar with the ocean.
As he “clocks in,” he is observing five major aspects of the surf condition. Despite its name, the surf report is relevant to all whose plan is to feel the west coast sand under their feet and possibly delve into rolling waves. If the sound of their roar is not convincing enough to get you to swim or board, beach goers should still always be mindful of their surroundings. Even fishermen are no exception. Remember to respect the ocean, yourselves and others. Here's what today's surf report means:
“Swimmers need to swim parallel to the shore--to the left or right," if they find themselves caught in a rip current.
It's a sign. Although these are major points delivered at least daily, there are more signs out there that can help newcomers have a memorable outing--without ending up embarrassed on the evening news as the one who did something stupid and careless (like stay off the bluff, use designated stairway, etc.). Read them and obey. Have a good surf. Be sure to say hi to Nick or whoever the lifeguard is on duty.
