Minor coastal flooding is expected during the times of high tide late tonight into early Thursday morning and again Thursday afternoon due to positive tidal departures of 1 1/2 to 2 ft.
Moderate coastal flooding is possible during the times of high tide Friday morning with positive tidal departures of 2 to 2 1/2 ft expected.
In addition to coastal flooding... high and long period easterly swells will likely result in high surf and moderate beach erosion Thursday through Saturday.
