...MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS TODAY...
...HIGH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES THIS EVENING...

ONSHORE WINDS AND A LONG PERIOD SOUTHEAST SWELL FROM MINIMAL
TROPICAL STORM COLIN ARE PRODUCING MODERATE ENHANCED RIP CURRENT
RISKS TODAY. A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IMPLIES THAT
INDIVIDUALS PLANNING TO ENTER THE SURF SHOULD CHECK WITH LOCAL
BEACH PATROLS FIRST. BE SURE TO SWIM WITHIN SIGHT OF A LIFEGUARD,
AND NEVER SWIM ALONE OR AT NIGHT.

WITH ASTRONOMICAL TIDES ALREADY HIGH BECAUSE OF THE NEW MOON ON
MONDAY, A LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW COULD CAUSE WATER LEVELS TO APPROACH
MINOR TIDAL FLOOD HEIGHTS AROUND THE TIME OF THE HIGH TIDE CYCLE
THIS EVENING. HIGH TIDES ALONG THE NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE COASTS
WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 6 AND 8 PM. WHILE WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS NOT
ANTICIPATED, SOME MINOR SPILLOVER MAY OCCUR IN THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE
AREAS.

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THESE CONDITIONS COULD CONTINUE INTO MONDAY.
ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS WILL BE ISSUED IF THIS OCCURS.
