Full Notification

* WHAT...For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one foot of inundation above ground level expected in low- lying areas near back bays and tidal waterways. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of up to 5 feet expected in the surf zone.

* WHERE...Coastal Ocean.

* WHEN...For the High Rip Current Risk, through Friday evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 6 AM Friday to 6 AM EDT Saturday. For the High Surf Advisory, from 8 AM to 8 PM EDT Friday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated road closures expected. 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...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, the main impacts from minor coastal flooding are expected along Barnegat Bay, especially near Mantoloking, where persistent southerly winds will trap high water from draining at high tide. High surf may result in sand dune breaching and beach erosion near the times of high tide.

* AFFECTED AREAS: COASTAL OCEAN

Instructions:

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Swim near a lifeguard. 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.
