   * WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 7 to 11 feet expected in the surf zone. For the Coastal Flood Warning, significant coastal flooding expected.

   * WHERE...Coastal Volusia, Mainland Northern Brevard and Northern Brevard Barrier Islands Counties.

   * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 2 AM EDT Sunday. For the High Rip Current Risk, through Monday evening. For the High Surf Advisory, from 11 AM this morning to 8 PM EDT Monday. For the Coastal Flood Warning, from 2 AM Sunday to 8 PM EDT Monday.

   * IMPACTS...Coastal roads may be closed. Low lying property including homes, businesses and some critical infrastructure will be inundated. Significant shoreline erosion will occur. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

   Precautionary/preparedness actions

   Coastal flooding is occurring or imminent. Coastal residents in the warned area should be alert for rising water, and take appropriate action to protect life and property. If travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.

   High surf will affect the beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions. Swimmers should remain out of the water due to large breaking waves and dangerous surf conditions.

   Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and signs.

   Entering the surf is strongly discouraged. 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.
