Description
What
For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one foot of inundation above ground level expected in vulnerable areas near the waterfront and shoreline.
Where
Southwest Suffolk County.
When
For the High Rip Current Risk, through Friday afternoon. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 7 PM Thursday to 9 AM EDT Friday.
Impacts
Brief minor flooding of the more vulnerable locations near the waterfront and shoreline. Life- threatening rip currents are likely for all people entering the surf zone. Anyone visiting the beaches should stay out of the surf. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
Additional details
Additional Coastal Flood Advisories, likely needed for Friday PM and Saturday AM high tide cycles. Moderate coastal flooding can also not be ruled out for Friday PM and Saturday AM.
Instructions
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If you enter the surf zone, always have a flotation device with you and swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float, and do not swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and yell or wave for help.
