...ROUGH SURF AND MINOR BEACH EROSION AT EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA
BEACHES...
STRONG EAST SOUTHEAST WINDS OVER THE ATLANTIC WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WILL BRING ROUGH AND DANGEROUS SURF TO THE
BEACHES. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT WADE INTO THE SURF DUE TO THE STRONG
BREAKING WAVES EXPECTED.
WIND AND OCEAN CONDITIONS WILL ALSO PRODUCE A MODERATE THREAT OF
RIP CURRENTS. ONLY ENTER THE SURF NEAR A LIFEGUARD AND NEVER SWIM
ALONE IN THE OCEAN.
BEACH EROSION HAS BEEN REPORTED WITH THE HIGH TIDE AT FORT PIERCE
INLET AND WAVELAND BEACH. SURF REACHED THE DUNE LINE AT JENSEN
BEACH AND SOME EROSION IS BEGINNING IN SPOTS. THE NEXT HIGH TIDE
WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 1 AND 2 AM TONIGHT.
ROUGH SURF AND POUNDING WAVES WILL AFFECT THE BEACHES. THE ROUGH
SURF MAY KNOCK YOU DOWN AND MAKE YOU SUSCEPTIBLE TO BEING CAUGHT
IN A RIP CURRENT. DO NOT VENTURE FAR INTO THE SURF AT EAST
CENTRAL FLORIDA BEACHES THIS AFTERNOON.
