Surf’s Up

Is it just me or does anyone else notice anything strange about this map:

high surf warning

Let me point out that the yellow & very light pink is water. Also note that the distance from the southern shore of Long Island to the northern shore is about 25 miles.

Now I ask you – how can all of New York City, all of Nassau County and the entire southern half of Suffolk County be in danger from high surf?? Unless there are abnormally huge tidal waves, I don’t see the high surf being too much of a danger for anyone unless you’re actually walking along the shoreline. But hey, I’m a college drop out so what do I know?
