Where
Southeast Georgia and Northeast Florida Beaches.
When
For the High Rip Current Risk, through late Saturday night. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 11 AM EDT this morning. For the High Surf Advisory, until 2 AM EDT Saturday.
Impacts
Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
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. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
