    WHAT: For the Coastal Flood Warning, one to two feet of
    inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines
    and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking
    waves up to 10 feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current
    Risk, dangerous rip currents.

    WHERE: Atlantic Coastal Cape May and Coastal Atlantic.

    WHEN: For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 2 PM EDT Sunday.

    waterways. Many roads become impassable. Some damage to
    vulnerable structures may begin to occur. Dangerous swimming
    and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip
    currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into
    deeper water.

    ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Significant beach erosion is expected.
    Breaching of sand dunes is possible.

    PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:

    A Coastal Flood Warning means that moderate or major tidal
    flooding is occurring or imminent. Be prepared for rising water
    levels and take appropriate action to protect life and property.
    Follow the recommendations of local emergency management
    officials.

    Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The water may be
    deeper than you think it is. You will be putting yourself in
    danger and your vehicle may be damaged, leading to costly
    repairs.

    Visit the National Water Prediction Service at
    https://water.noaa.gov/wfo/phi for additional water level and
    flood impact information for your local tide gauge.

    Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
    dangerous surf conditions.

    Always obey posted Beach Flags. If you enter the surf zone,
    always have a floatation device with you and swim near a
    lifeguard if possible. If caught in a rip current, relax and
    float and do not swim against the current. If able, swim parallel
    to the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or
    wave for help.
