Issued by NWS Melbourne FL
What
For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents.
Where
Coastal portions of Volusia, Indian River, and Brevard Counties.
When
For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 2 PM EDT this afternoon. For the High Rip Current Risk, through late Sunday night.
Impacts
Some flooding of low-lying lots, parks and roadways may occur near the shoreline. Only isolated road closures are expected. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
What to Do
Onshore winds and above normal tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.
Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs.
Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. 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.
Areas Impacted
- Coastal Volusia
- Coastal Indian River
- Mainland Northern Brevard
- Northern Brevard Barrier Islands
- Mainland Southern Brevard
- Southern Brevard Barrier Islands
Tips to Stay Safe
Rip currents may create dangerous swimming conditions in the area.
- If you enter the water, always have a flotation device with you and swim near a lifeguard.
- Keep small children in sight and within arm’s reach at all times.
- If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don’t swim against the current. If able, swim parallel to the shoreline.
