  * WHAT...For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents expected. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one half foot of inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 6 to 12 feet expected in the surf zone. For the Coastal Flood Watch, one to two feet of inundation above ground level possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic and Coastal Ocean. * WHEN...For the High Rip Current Risk, from Tuesday morning through Friday afternoon. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 4 PM to 10 PM EDT Tuesday. For the High Surf Advisory, from 8 AM Wednesday to 6 PM EDT Friday. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Wednesday afternoon through late Thursday night. * IMPACTS...At this level, widespread roadway flooding occurs in coastal and bayside communities and along inland tidal waterways. Many roads become impassable. Some damage to vulnerable structures may begin to occur. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS....Significant beach erosion is likely through this week and into the weekend. Moderate tidal flooding could continue through Friday or perhaps longer.

  A Coastal Flood Watch means that conditions favorable for flooding are expected to develop. Be prepared to begin taking appropriate action to protect life and property. Follow the recommendations of local emergency management officials. Be sure to check the latest forecast from time to time in case a warning is issued or any new information becomes available. Visit the National Water Prediction Service at https://water.noaa.gov/wfo/phi for additional water level and flood impact information for your local tide gauge. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Always obey posted Beach Flags. If you enter the surf zone, always have a floatation device with you and swim near a lifeguard if possible. If caught in a rip current, relax and float and do not swim against the current. If able, swim parallel to the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

Next moon phases: full moon Sat, Sep 26, last quarter Sat, Oct 3.

Heights are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW): the average of the lower of each day’s two low tides over NOAA’s 19-year tidal epoch, and the zero of US tide tables and nautical charts. A low tide below that average is printed as a negative height.

Predictions are astronomical. They account for the moon and the sun, not the weather: onshore wind, low air pressure and high river flow hold the water above the prediction, offshore wind and high pressure hold it below.

Spring tides, the largest ranges of the month, follow the new and full moon by a day or two. Neap tides, the smallest, follow the quarter moons.

NOAA predicts the tide here from Atlantic City (8534720), 24 mi away: high tide comes 49 minutes later, low tide 64 minutes later; 0.97 times the height at high tide and the same height at low tide. The times and heights above include those corrections.
