Flooding could extend inland from the waterfront and shoreline into areas that typically don't experience coastal flooding. Flooding will likely be exacerbated along north facing shorelines from wave action, particularly for the barrier island from Atlantic Beach, Long Beach to Jones Beach. This will result in numerous road closures and cause widespread flooding of low lying property including parking lots, parks, lawns and homes/businesses with basements near the waterfront. Vehicles parked in vulnerable areas near the waterfront will likely become flooded. Flooding in the most vulnerable areas may not totally recede during the times of low tide. * SHOREFRONT/BEACH IMPACTS...Breaking waves of 6 to 10 ft along with elevated water levels will result in widespread dune erosion and beach flooding. Localized overwashes are possible where dune structures are compromised, resulting in some flooding of roadways and vulnerable structures behind protective dunes. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Life-threatening rip currents are likely for all people entering the surf zone. Anyone visiting the beaches should stay out of the surf. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS....Another round of moderate to major coastal flooding is possible for the Sunday morning high tide cycle.
