Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Onshore winds and above normal tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. High surf will affect the beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. Swimmers should remain out of the water due to large breaking waves and dangerous surf conditions. Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs. Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. 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. && $$ FLZ141-347-447-647-747-200200- /O.CON.KMLB.CF.Y.0004.000000T0000Z-241020T1800Z/ /O.CON.KMLB.RP.S.0033.000000T0000Z-241021T0800Z/ Coastal Volusia-Mainland Northern Brevard- Northern Brevard Barrier Islands-Mainland Southern Brevard- Southern Brevard Barrier Islands- 215 PM EDT Sat Oct 19 2024 ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 PM EDT SUNDAY... ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT... * WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding.
