The National Weather Service in Jacksonville has issued a Coastal Flood Warning for Northeast Florida beaches, in effect until 2:00 AM EDT on October 30. Moderate flooding during high tide and dangerous surf conditions are expected.

The Coastal Flood Warning was issued by the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, Florida, at 3:33 AM EDT on October 27. The affected regions include Coastal Nassau, Coastal Duval, Coastal Flagler, Northeast Coastal St. Johns, and Southeast Coastal St. Johns.

Moderate flooding is forecast during times of high tide. In addition, a High Surf Advisory covers large breaking waves of 7 to 10 feet, and a High Rip Current Risk remains active through late Thursday night.
