* TIMING...From 8 AM EDT this morning through this evening.

* Location...The Midcoast and southwest coast of Maine and the New

* Winds...Northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.

* Impacts...The cold water temperatures can quickly cause

A Beach Hazards Statement is issued on days when a significant
number of boats and paddlecraft are expected to be out on the

tides, and localized currents.
