...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM EDT /8 AM
CDT/ SATURDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT /7 AM CDT/ FRIDAY
TO 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ SATURDAY...
...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Tallahassee has issued a High
Surf Advisory, which is in effect from 8 AM EDT /7 AM CDT/ Friday
to 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ Saturday. A High Rip Current Risk has also
been issued. This High Rip Current Risk is in effect from Friday
morning through Saturday evening. 

* COASTAL FLOODING...Inundation of 1 to 3 feet at the time of 
  high tide Friday night. 

* WAVES AND SURF...Surf heights of 7 to 10 feet developing late
  Friday into early Saturday.

* IMPACTS...Minor beach erosion and wave run up to the dune line.
  Life threatening surf and rip currents will be dangerous to all
  level swimmers.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

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

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.

If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain
calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.

...HIGH SURF WARNING IS CANCELLED...

The National Weather Service in Tallahassee has issued a High
Surf Advisory, which is in effect until 8 PM EDT /7 PM CDT/ this
evening. The High Surf Warning has been cancelled. 

* WAVES AND SURF...Surf heights of 6 to 8 feet through early this
  evening. 

* Impacts...Life threatening surf and rip currents will be 
  dangerous to all level swimmers. 

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.

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.

If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain
calm, do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, swim parallel to
shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.
