  * WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet in the surf zone. For the Beach Hazards Statement, a high risk of rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Warning, one to two feet of inundation above ground level expected in low- lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...In Maryland, the Maryland Beaches. In Virginia, Accomack and Northampton Counties. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 4 PM EDT Friday. For the High Surf Advisory, until 7 AM EDT Friday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, through this 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 1 to 2 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. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.

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 Ocean City (Fishing Pier) (8570280), 40 mi away: high tide comes 4 minutes later, low tide 4 minutes earlier; 1.06 times the height at high tide and 0.31 times the height at low tide. The times and heights above include those corrections.
