...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM EST
WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, water runup to the dune
  line, minor coastal flooding and beach erosion expected around
  the times of high tide, especially in vulnerable locations of
  Volusia County. For the High Rip Current Risk, rough choppy surf
  and dangerous rip currents. 

* WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Mainland Northern Brevard and 
  Northern Brevard Barrier Islands Counties.

* WHEN...For the High Rip Current Risk, through late tonight. 
  For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 11 AM EST Wednesday.

* 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.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Morning high tides will occur between 800
  and 830 AM on Tuesday, and around 900 AM Wednesday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

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.
