Description

What

For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding. For the High Surf Warning, dangerously large breaking waves of 2 to 14 feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents.

Where

South Walton and Coastal Bay Counties.

When

For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 11 AM CDT this morning. For the High Surf Warning, until 10 AM CDT Sunday. For the High Rip Current Risk, through late Sunday night.

Impacts

Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected. Breaking waves can sweep people off jetties and docks, and into dangerous seas. Life- threatening swimming conditions and significant beach erosion can be expected. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

Additional details

Minor to locally moderate coastal flooding will continue through today.

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. Everyone should remain out of the water due to life-threatening surf conditions. Stay off of jetties, piers, and other waterside infrastructure. 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.
