...DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS AND MINOR COASTAL FLOODING... .The combination of greater swell periods and expected swell heights will contribute to a high risk for dangerous rip currents through early Monday morning along Gulf-facing beaches of the Middle Texas Coast. Higher than normal astronomical tides will result in coastal flooding today along the barrier islands, including along the adjacent bays and intracoastal waterways, of the Middle Texas Coast, around the times of high tide. Tide levels are expected to exceed 2 feet Mean Sea Level, or at least 1 foot of inundation, near the times of high tide. Water is expected to reach well into the dunes and beach access roads. The National Weather Service in Corpus Christi has issued a Coastal Flood Advisory, which is in effect until 8 AM CDT Monday. The Coastal Flood Warning has been cancelled.

* COASTAL FLOODING...Minor coastal flooding during time of high tide with tide levels 2 to 2.5 feet above mean sea level (1 to 1.5 feet inundation).

* TIMING...Dangerous rip currents through Monday morning. Coastal flooding during times of high tide. The next high tide at Bob Hall Pier will occur at 1140 PM CDT Tonight.

* IMPACTS...These rip currents can become life-threatening to anyone entering the surf. Poor driving conditions are expected as water reaches the dunes. Beach access roads become impassable.

* AFFECTED AREAS: NUECES ISLANDS ... KLEBERG ISLANDS

Instructions:

A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore. 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.
