HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Swells generated by Larry are expected to reach the Lesser
Antilles on Sunday, and will continue to spread westward to
portions of the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, and Bermuda Monday
and Tuesday.  Significant swells will likely reach the eastern
United States coastline after Labor Day.  These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please
consult products from your local weather office.
