* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, two to three feet of inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 8 to 10 feet in the surf zone. For the Beach Hazards Statement, a high risk of rip currents. * WHERE...Virginia Beach. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 2 PM EDT Sunday. For the High Surf Advisory, until 7 AM EDT Sunday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Sunday evening. * IMPACTS...Widespread flooding of vulnerable areas will result in an elevated threat of property damage to homes and businesses near the waterfront and shoreline. Water will be 2 to 3 feet above ground level in some areas resulting in a sufficient depth to close numerous roads and threaten homes and businesses. Flooding will extend inland from the waterfront along tidal rivers and bays resulting in some road closures and flooding of vehicles.
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.

The calendar holds every high and low for the next three months and keeps itself three months ahead.
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 Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel (8638863), 5.0 mi away: high tide comes 75 minutes later, low tide 75 minutes later; 0.68 times the height at high tide and 1.08 times the height at low tide. The times and heights above include those corrections.
