Corpus Christi, Texas

... Coastal Flood Advisory in effect until 6 am CST Tuesday...

The National Weather Service in Corpus Christi has issued a
coastal Flood Advisory... which is in effect until 6 am CST
Tuesday.

Tide levels have continued to run between one-half to one foot
above normal since late Friday. An additional one-half of a foot
in tide level is expected through Monday night. This will
translate into most coastal locations experiencing 1.8 feet to 2.5
feet above mean sea level at the time of high tide. The largest
tidal increases will occur on Gulf-facing beaches such as
Malaquite Beach and Padre Island National Seashore.

These higher tide levels accompanied by incoming large swells will
push the water at times up to the dunes on Padre Island. Low-lying
roads such as Laguna shores Road in Flour Bluff may become flooded
in spots. Some beach access roads on Padre Island may also become
flooded. Alternate routes of travel may be necessary.

The next high tides at Port Aransas will occur at 1036 PM CST
this evening and at 1101 PM CST Monday evening. The next high
tides at Port Oconnor will occur at 501 am CST Monday morning and
513 am CST Tuesday morning.

In addition to the coastal flooding... high swells along with
strengthening northeast winds will produce favorable conditions
for rip currents through Monday.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Driving on area beaches is not recommended at the time of high
tide due to high tide levels. Camping on the beach should be
discouraged as well.

Swimming and other marine-related activities are highly
discouraged due to the threat from heavy surf and rip currents.
Heavy surf and rip currents pose a danger to anyone in the water.

If you are caught in a rip current... do not panic. Escape the
current by swimming in a direction following the shoreline until
you are free from the rip current.

showers developed over the Gulf and moved across the southern
coastal Bend early Sunday morning. The rain spread northward
to the Victoria Crossroads region during Sunday morning. The
rain was locally heavy.
