...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM TO 10 AM EST
THURSDAY...

A HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM TO 10 AM EST
THURSDAY. A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM TO
10 AM EST THURSDAY.

GALE FORCE WINDS WILL DRIVE THE SURF TOWARD THE COAST AND WILL
BREAK ON THE BEACHES PRIOR TO AND DURING THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE.
THE HEAVY WAVE ACTION IS LIKELY TO CAUSE BEACH EROSION AND COULD
MAKE CONDITIONS WORSE IN AREAS THAT SUSTAINED SERIOUS BEACH
EROSION FROM THE VETERANS DAY STORM. THE HIGHEST INCOMING WAVES
AND WINDS WILL OCCUR IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS THURSDAY LEADING
UP TO THE HIGH TIDE WHICH OCCURS ON THE OCEAN FRONT BETWEEN SEVEN
AND EIGHT THIRTY AM THURSDAY MORNING.

THE FLOOD ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED PRIMARILY FOR THOSE AREAS THAT
HAVE SUSTAINED FLOODING AND BEACH EROSION FROM THE VETERANS DAY
STORM. THE TIDAL DEPARTURES WILL ONLY REACH ABOUT A FOOT ABOVE
NORMAL. THIS WOULD NORMALLY BE MINOR TIDAL FLOODING. HOWEVER...
THE HIGH WINDS WILL DRIVE WAVES UP ONTO THE BEACH AT THE TIME OF
HIGH TIDE AND THERE MAY BE VERY HEAVY RAIN FALLING TO ADD TO ANY
STREET FLOODING.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HIGH SURF ADVISORY MEANS THAT HIGH SURF WILL AFFECT BEACHES IN
THE ADVISORY AREA, PRODUCING RIP CURRENTS AND LOCALIZED BEACH
EROSION.

A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY INDICATES THAT ONSHORE WINDS AND TIDES
WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE FLOODING OF LOW AREAS ESPECIALLY THOSE
AREAS IMPACTED BY THE VETERANS DAY STORM.
