For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one 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 8 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...The Maryland Beaches, Accomack, and Northampton County. * WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, from 8 AM EDT this morning through Wednesday evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 4 PM this afternoon to 4 PM EDT Wednesday. For the High Surf Advisory, from 2 AM Wednesday to 6 PM EDT Thursday. For the Coastal Flood Watch, from Wednesday afternoon through late Thursday night. * IMPACTS...Numerous roads may be closed. Low lying property including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure may be inundated. Some shoreline erosion may occur. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion.
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.

What this means
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 Ocean City (Fishing Pier) (8570280), 35 mi away: high tide comes 35 minutes later, low tide 48 minutes later; 1.08 times the height at high tide and 1.25 times the height at low tide. The times and heights above include those corrections.
