A high surf advisory is effect until 6 p.m. Sunday Aug. 23. A small craft advisory is also in effect.
Waves are expected in the range of seven to 10 feet Saturday afternoon increasing to eight to 12 feet overnight.
Seas are expected to subside to six to 9 feet on Sunday.
The surf temperature in Cape May was 79 degrees, very comfortable for surfers who concentrated on the Cove and Poverty beaches.
