Coastal Flood Advisory, High Surf Advisory Statement as of 2:45 am CST on November 9, 2009

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

The high surf advisory is now in effect until 6 am CST Tuesday.
The coastal Flood Advisory is now in effect until 6 am CST
Tuesday.

Large Gulf swells of 8 to 10 feet will continue to move towards
the Lower Texas coastline today and 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.
