Coastal Flood Advisory, High Surf Advisory
Statement as of 2:43 PM CST on November 9, 2009


... Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST
Tuesday...
... High surf advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST Tuesday...

A high surf advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST Tuesday. A
coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST Tuesday.

Large Gulf swells of 8 to 10 feet will continue to move towards
the Lower Texas coastline through tonight. Lower Texas coastal residents
can expect large waves to break in the surf zone and frequently
run up to... and just past... the dunes on South Padre Island and at
Boca Chica Beach this morning through tonight. The effects of
these large Gulf swells will also be worsened by an expected high
tide tonight around 1040 PM at South Padre Island. Driving on the
beach during this time will not be possible due to the frequency
and height of the waves. Beach goers are urged to remain off the
beaches until the high surf... dangerous wave action and rip
currents subside. Law enforcement officials on South Padre Island
report that beach access 5 and 6 are closed and will likely remain
closed until the high surf recedes.

In addition to the coastal flooding... rough surf... frequent
dangerous rip currents... and minor beach erosion will likely
occur today through tonight. Swimming and other marine related
activities along South Padre Island and at Boca Chica Beach are
highly discouraged today through at least early Tuesday due to
the expected rough easterly swells.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A high surf advisory is issued when dangerous water action is
expected along the coast. This includes rough or high surf...
large breaking waves... rip currents... and strong undertow. High
surf is defined generally to be head high or greater on an
average man... about 6 feet or more. Beach goers are urged to heed
flag warnings and the orders of local law enforcement.

A coastal Flood Advisory is issued for the likelihood of minor
tidal flooding or tidal overwash... defined as tides expected to
be around 2.5 feet above mean lower low water along South Padre
Island and communities along the Laguna Madre.
