## extract

High Surf Advisory — Delaware Beaches
Severity: Minor. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, one to two feet of
inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near
shorelines and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory,
large breaking waves of up to 12 feet in the surf zone. For
the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...Delaware Beaches.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 2 AM EDT Saturday.
For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 PM EDT Saturday. For the
High Rip Current Risk, through Saturday evening.

* IMPACTS...At this level, widespread roadway flooding occurs in
coastal and bayside communities and along inland tidal
waterways. Many roads become impassable. Some damage to
vulnerable structures may begin to occur. Dangerous swimming
and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip
currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into
deeper water.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Significant beach erosion is expected.
Breaching of sand dunes is possible. Moderate tidal flooding
could continue into the weekend. Cannot rule out major tidal
flooding impacts, especially around Rehoboth Bay and Indian
River.
