Feature idea: NWS beach hazards / rip current risk #3

Description

@CosmicCEO

⭐ api.weather.gov also publishes Surf Zone Forecasts and Beach Hazard Statements (same free source and GeoJSON-adjacent pattern as the alert polygons already shipped). Particularly relevant given the wildlife tracker's existing Florida/Gulf Coast focus — a genuinely dangerous, underserved data point for that exact user base.

Risks: coverage is coastal-only; text-based hazard statements rather than clean polygons, so parsing/display needs its own format (banner/badge, not a map polygon).

See docs/feature-ideas.md → Backlog.
