The strong winds and high surf pose risks to swimmers, beachgoers, and coastal residents. Rip currents are particularly dangerous, and the rough seas may lead to beach erosion. Wind gusts could disrupt outdoor activities and create hazards for unsecured items. Drivers may face challenges due to the windy conditions, especially in exposed areas.
