For the Coastal Flood Watch, one to two feet of inundation above ground level possible along shorelines and tidal waterways (7.9 to 8.1 feet Mean Lower Low Water at Charleston).

Precautionary actions

Visit water.weather.gov for additional water level and flood impact information.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.
