FLOODING IS ANTICIPATED AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE LATE TONIGHT. 
FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON'S HIGH TIDE, AREAS OF MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING 
ARE EXPECTED.

HEAVY SURF WILL IMPACT THE COAST OVERNIGHT AND ON TUESDAY RESULTING 
IN MINOR TO MODERATE BEACH EROSION.  THE HEAVY SURF AND THE EXPECTED

AREAS OF MODERATE TIDAL FLOODING ARE POSSIBLE AROUND TUESDAY
