..ROUGH SURF AND MINOR BEACH EROSION LIKELY TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...
..INCREASING CHANCE OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OFF THE SOUTHEAST ATLANTIC COAST THIS
AFTERNOON WILL COMBINE WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO PRODUCE STRONG NORTH WINDS BY THIS
AFTERNOON. AS WE TRANSITION INTO THE EVENING HOURS...THESE WINDS
WILL BECOME NORTH NORTHEAST...PROVIDING AN ONSHORE FLOW FOR SAINT
JOHNS AND FLAGLER COUNTIES.

THIS WILL ALLOW SURF TO INCREASE ALONG AREA BEACHES TO 3 TO 4
FEET THIS EVENING AND 4 TO 6 FEET BY WEDNESDAY MORNING AND
PERSISTING ALL THE WAY INTO THE EVENING HOURS. IN ADDITION TO THE
ROUGH SURF...THE RIP CURRENT RISK WILL BE INCREASING AS WELL WITH
A MODERATE TO HIGH RISK DEVELOPING FOR WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. LARGE
BREAKERS CAN KNOCK YOU DOWN AND MAKE YOU SUSCEPTIBLE TO RIP
CURRENTS. STAY OUT OF THE WATER UNTIL CONDITIONS IMPROVE.

FINALLY...THE INCREASING SWELL CONDITIONS ALONG WITH THE BREAKERS
WILL INCREASE THE BEACH EROSION FOR AREAS THAT HAVE ALREADY
EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT EROSION THIS PAST YEAR. THE EROSION
CONCERNS WILL BE MAXIMIZED DURING TIMES OF HIGH TIDE WHICH ARE
LISTED BELOW.

NEXT HIGH TIDE TIMES AT SAINT AUGUSTINE...530 THIS AFTERNOON...552
WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND 623 WEDNESDAY EVENING.
