Wind and ocean conditions will also produce a moderate threat of rip currents. Only enter the surf near a lifeguard and never swim alone in the Ocean.
Beach erosion has been reported with the high tide at Fort Pierce inlet and Waveland beach. Surf reached the dune line at Jensen Beach and some erosion is beginning in spots. The next high tide will occur between 1 and 2 am tonight.
Rough surf and pounding waves will affect the beaches. The rough surf may knock you down and make you susceptible to being caught in a rip current. Do not venture far into the surf at east central Florida beaches this afternoon.
