  high tide due to high astronomical tides and onshore winds at
  areas along the Atlantic Coast, inland waterways, and portions 
  of the St Johns River Basin. 

* WAVES AND SURF...Breakers will build to 7 to 8 feet along the
  northeast Florida coasts. Locally moderate beach erosion in 
  limited areas is possible.

* Timing...Through Wednesday Night.

* IMPACTS...Life threatening rip currents and rough surf are 
  likely. Minor coastal flooding is expected during times of 
  high tide. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate minor flooding of low areas along the
shore.

There is a High Risk of rip currents.

Rip currents will be life threatening.

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 groins, jetties
and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards and the beach patrol.
Pay attention to flags and posted signs.

Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current remain calm.
Don't fight the current. Swim in a direction following the
shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave
for help. If tired, float or tread water until out of the rip
current.

A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area, producing rip currents and localized beach
erosion.
