...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST TUESDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST TUESDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...

The National Weather Service in Miami has issued a High Surf
Advisory, which is in effect until 7 AM EST Tuesday. A Coastal
Flood Advisory has also been issued. This Coastal Flood Advisory
is in effect until 7 AM EST Tuesday. In addition, a High Rip
Current Risk has been issued. This High Rip Current Risk is in
effect through Tuesday morning. 

* COASTAL FLOODING...Sensitive and low-lying locations along the 
  Atlantic coast may experience minor flooding near the times of 
  high tide. 

* WAVES AND SURF...Surf heights are expected to peak around 7 to 
  9 feet along the Palm Beach beaches. Heights should gradually 
  diminsh Tuesday morning.

* TIMING...Coastal flood hazards, High Surf hazards, and Rip
  Current risk will persist through through Tuesday morning. 

* IMPACTS...High wave heights and surf may cause beach erosion and
  coastal flood impacts. Life threatening rip currents and rough
  surf will pose a threat to all swimmers. Heed the advice of
  lifeguards. Swimming is not recommended. 
  


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

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

There is a high risk of rip currents.

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, beach patrol flags and
signs.

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.
