In Florida, Escambia Coastal, Santa Rosa Coastal and Okaloosa Coastal Counties. * WHEN...From Friday afternoon through late Sunday night. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Long period swell associated with distant Hurricane Beryl moving toward the Yucatan Peninsula will arrive along area beaches by Friday afternoon. The swell in combination with high tidal ranges and outgoing tide in the afternoon and evening will favor the development of dangerous rip currents Friday through the weekend. Those visiting area beaches should familiarize themselves with the beach flag system and follow lifeguard instructions. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 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. && $$

For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents expected. * WHERE...In Alabama, Mobile Coastal and Baldwin Coastal Counties. In Florida, Escambia Coastal, Santa Rosa Coastal and Okaloosa Coastal Counties. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 1 PM Friday to 1 AM CDT Sunday. For the High Rip Current Risk, from Friday afternoon through late Sunday night. * IMPACTS...Flooding due to wave run-up of localized vulnerable areas along the Gulf facing beaches is possible. Some minor flooding of parking lots, normally dry beach areas and a few isolated roads could occur in normally flood prone areas. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Long period swell associated with distant Hurricane Beryl moving toward the Yucatan Peninsula will arrive along area beaches by Friday early afternoon. The swell in combination with high tidal ranges and outgoing tide in the afternoon and evening will favor the development of dangerous rip currents Friday through the weekend. Those visiting area beaches should familiarize themselves with the beach flag system and follow lifeguard instructions. In addition to the rip currents, there could also be a localized potential of some salt water flooding due to wave run-up issues at some of our especially problematic and vulnerable spots along our Gulf front beaches. While coastal flooding in the general sense (due to above normal tides) is not expected there could be some run-up issues that could cause problems at a few of our more vulnerable areas along the Gulf beach front, like the west end of Dauphin Island and around the Fort Pickens area. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. 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. && $$
