Increasing easterly winds of 15 to 25 mph will combine with long period easterly swells and increasing wind waves to generate breaker heights of 3 to 5 feet along the northeast Florida Atlantic coast. The combination of the swells and strong onshore flow will create a high rip current risk. Rip currents are life- threatening to anyone entering the surf. Minor beach erosion and coastal flooding are possible during times of high tide.
The higher than normal risk of rip currents is expected to continue through Tuesday due to strong onshore winds.
