Coastal Flood Advisory Statement as of 12:04 am CST on November 9, 2009

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

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

Tide levels have increased to around 1 1/2 feet above normal
levels and exceeded 2 1/2 feet above msl along the Gulf side of
the barrier islands during high tide late Sunday evening. Tides
are expected to continue to run around 1 1/2 feet above normal at
the beaches through Monday night and water levels will likely
approach 2 1/2 feet above msl once again at area beaches during high
tide late Monday evening. The largest tidal increases will
continue to occur on Gulf-facing beaches such as Malaquite Beach
and Padre Island National Seashore however some very minor impacts
on the Bay Side will be possible as well.

These higher tide levels accompanied by incoming large swells
will push the water at times up to the dunes on Padre Island. Low-
lying roads such as Laguna shores Road in Flour Bluff may become
flooded in spots. Some beach access roads on Padre Island may also
become flooded. Alternate routes of travel may be necessary.

The next high tides at Port Aransas will occur at 1101 PM CST
Monday evening. The next high tides at Port O'Connor will occur
at 501 am CST Monday morning and 513 am CST Tuesday morning.

In addition to the coastal flooding... high swells along with
strengthening northeast winds will produce a moderate to high
risk of rip currents through Monday.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Driving on area beaches is not recommended at the time of high
tide due to high tide levels. Camping on the beach should be
discouraged as well.

Swimming and other marine-related activities are highly
discouraged due to the threat from heavy surf and rip currents.
Heavy surf and rip currents pose a danger to anyone in the water.

If you are caught in a rip current... do not panic. Escape the
current by swimming in a direction following the shoreline until
you are free from the rip current.

Affected residents and mariners alike can expect periods of light to moderate downpours...reducing visibilities to 1 mile at times...and an isolated cloud to surface lightning strike mainly over the Gulf waters. Additional rainfall amounts will generally range between 1/10 and 1/4 of an inch through 2 am with the heaviest rain remaining offshore.
