Ocean and surf

No National Weather Service surf or marine alert is in effect

That is not the same as safe conditions. The National Weather Service issues alerts for island-scale hazards; it does not report what any individual beach is doing today. Check the official beach-safety resource and the lifeguards on the beach before you go in.
