Description:
...HIGH SURF WARNING FOR ALL SOUTH FACING SHORES THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING...
...COASTAL FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDES THROUGH TUESDAY...
.The combination of a large, long-period south-southwest (200-190
degrees) swell and King Tides will cause significant wave run up
and could cause widespread coastal flooding during the afternoon
high tides along south facing shores. Also due to the highest
monthly tides and water levels running higher than predicted at
select areas, flooding along all shorelines and in low-lying
coastal areas are expected especially during the late afternoon
and early evening hours.
* WHAT...Nuisance coastal flooding due to high water levels.
* WHERE...Vulnerable low-lying coastal roadways, docks, boat
ramps and other coastal infrastructure.
* WHEN...Around the daily peak tides during the late afternoon
and early evening hours through Tuesday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Flooding of beaches that are normally dry, some minor
coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation of low-lying roads,
docks, boat ramps, and other coastal infrastructure.
Instruction:
Avoid driving through flooded roadways. If you are forced to
drive through salt water, be sure to rinse your vehicle with
fresh water. Move electronics, vehicles or other valuables to
higher ground. Monitor vessels to ensure mooring lines don't get
too tight and watch out for overwash around boat ramps. Secure
canoes or other watercraft stowed on beaches.
