* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, significant coastal

* IMPACTS...Structural damage to buildings unprotected by seawalls
  may occur. Gulf water is crossing public beach access points,
  closing State Highway 100 from Beach Access #4 northward. Expect
  water crossing Gulf Boulevard with more than one foot of water
  depth. Driving on beaches, even in vehicles equipped with four
  wheel drive, will be impossible. Severe beach erosion with
  calving of dunes is likely. Breaking waves can sweep people off
  jetties and docks and into dangerous seas. Life-threatening
  swimming conditions and significant beach erosion will occur. 
  Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore 
  into deeper water.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.

Everyone should remain out of the water due to life-threatening
surf conditions. Stay off of jetties, piers, and other waterside
infrastructure.

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.
