Rockport, Texas

... Coastal Flood Advisory remains in effect until 6 am CST
Tuesday...

Tide levels have increased to around 1 1/2 feet above normal
levels and exceeded 2 1/2 feet above mean sea level along the Gulf
side of the barrier islands during high tide late Sunday evening.
Tides are expected to continue to run around 1 1/2 feet above
normal at the beaches through tonight and water levels will likely
approach 2 1/2 feet above mean sea level once again at area
beaches during high tide late this evening. The largest tidal
increases will continue to occur on Gulf-facing beaches such as
Malaquite Beach and Padre Island National Seashore. However... some
minor impacts may occur on the Bay Side also. Bay levels are around
a foot above normal levels... and between 1 1/2 to 2 feet mean sea
level at high tide.

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 1101 PM CST
this evening. The next high tides at Port O'Connor will occur at
501 am CST this morning and 513 am CST Tuesday morning.

In addition to the coastal flooding... high swells along with
strengthening northeast to north winds will produce a moderate
to high risk of rip currents through Tuesday.

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.
