	Coastal Flood Advisory
Statement as of 1:51 PM CST on November 08, 2009 ... Coastal Flood Advisory in effect until 6 am CST Tuesday... The National Weather Service in Corpus Christi has issued a coastal Flood Advisory... which is in effect until 6 am CST Tuesday. Tide levels have continued to run between one-half to one foot above normal since late Friday. An additional one-half of a foot in tide level is expected through Monday night. This will translate into most coastal locations experiencing 1.8 feet to 2.5 feet above mean sea level at the time of high tide. The largest tidal increases will occur on Gulf-facing beaches such as Malaquite Beach and Padre Island National Seashore. These higher tide levels accompanied by incoming large swells will push the water at times up to the dunes on Padre Island. Low-lying roads such as Laguna shores Road in Flour Bluff may become flooded in spots. Some beach access roads on Padre Island may also become flooded. Alternate routes of travel may be necessary. The next high tides at Port Aransas will occur at 1036 PM CST this evening and at 1101 PM CST Monday evening. The next high tides at Port Oconnor will occur at 501 am CST Monday morning and 513 am CST Tuesday morning. In addition to the coastal flooding... high swells along with strengthening northeast winds will produce favorable conditions for rip currents through Monday. Precautionary/preparedness actions... Driving on area beaches is not recommended at the time of high tide due to high tide levels. Camping on the beach should be discouraged as well. Swimming and other marine-related activities are highly discouraged due to the threat from heavy surf and rip currents. Heavy surf and rip currents pose a danger to anyone in the water. If you are caught in a rip current... do not panic. Escape the current by swimming in a direction following the shoreline until you are free from the rip current.
