SURF: [TOP] Swells generated by Sebastien are expected to reach the Azores early next week. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Sebastien was located near latitude 27.8 North, longitude 50.6 West. Sebastien is moving toward the east-northeast near 17 mph (28 km/h), and this motion with an increase in forward speed is expected during the next couple of days.

Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Gradual weakening is anticipated, and Sebastien is forecast to dissipate early next week.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km) from the center.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb (29.44 inches).
