  the high tide will line up with the strongest onshore winds.
  From Carrabelle to the Ochlockonee River Entrance, water levels
  along the coast are expected to reach 3 to 4 feet above normally
  dry ground, resulting in flooding of coastal roads and
  inundation of non-elevated structures along the coast. West of 
  Carrabelle, water levels of 2 to 3 feet above normally dry 
  ground are expected, which will result in flooding of low lying 
  roadways near the immediate coast. Some shoreline erosion will 
  occur. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized 
  beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers 
  away from shore into deeper water.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.

Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.

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.

...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM TUESDAY TO 1 AM EST
WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...Moderate coastal flooding expected.

* WHERE...Coastal Jefferson and Coastal Wakulla Counties.

* WHEN...From 7 AM Tuesday to 1 AM EST Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Water levels will rise quickly leading to high tide
  around 2 pm on Tuesday. Water levels of 3 to 4 feet above
  normally dry ground are expected with isolated maximum values
  near 5 feet possible, especially if the strongest winds occur
  around high tide. This will result in moderate flooding of low
  lying coastal communities like Mashes Sands Beach, Panacea,
  Spring Creek, and Saint Marks. Numerous roads will flood and
  non-elevated structures will be prone to inundation along the 
  immediate coast. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.

* WHEN...From 7 AM Tuesday to 7 AM EST Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Water levels will rise quickly leading to high tide
  around 2 pm on Tuesday. Water levels of 3 to 5 feet above

  flooding of low lying coastal communities like Keaton Beach,
  Steinhatchee, Horseshoe Beach, and Suwannee. Numerous roads will
  flood and non-elevated structures will be prone to inundation
