  • High Surf Advisory begins at noon today for all beaches as breakers rise to 5-7 feet today, and 6-9+ feet tomorrow. This comes as Hurricane Erin will pass by hundreds of miles offshore.

  • Locally, minor to moderate beach erosion is possible in some places around the times of high tide.
  • Higher than normal tides are expected over the next few days, resulting in some minor coastal flooding in the flood-prone tidal locations.
