    ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 PM EDT WEDNESDAY... ...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING... ...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

    WHAT: For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 4 to
    7 feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current Risk,
    dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to
    one foot of inundation above ground level expected along
    shorelines and tidal waterways (7.6 to 7.8 feet Mean Lower Low
    Water at Charleston).

    WHERE: Coastal Colleton and Charleston Counties.

    WHEN: For the High Surf Advisory, until 2 PM EDT Wednesday.
    For the High Rip Current Risk, until 8 PM EDT this evening.
    For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 8 PM EDT this evening.

    IMPACTS: This will result in some roads becoming impassable
    and minor flooding of properties. 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: High tide will occur around 5:28 PM today
    at Charleston. Saltwater inundation will be possible several
    hours before and after high tide. Significant beach erosion
    could also occur, especially around times of high tide.

    PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:

    If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
    closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
    unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
    property.

    Visit water.weather.gov for additional water level and flood
    impact information.

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

    Swim near a lifeguard. 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.
