Big swells radiating away from Hurricane Igor will keep up the rough surfalong most Atlantic beaches on Tuesday.By Tuesday, the storm will accelerate northeastward south of Newfoundland andthus away from the U.S. coast.
Although the worst of the high waves will end by Tuesday, a 5- to 10-foot swellwill persist off shore. This swell will continue to rear up to form powerfulbreakers along east-facing beaches.
Rough breakers, as well as the rip currents they cause, will continue topose a danger to swimmers and surfers.
The surf will stay somewhat high through Wednesday, and some Southeast beacheswill stay rough most of the week.
