  • Coastal Flood Warning

    Starts in 3 h 25 min

    When
    For the High Surf Advisory, until 5 PM EDT Monday. For the High Rip Current Risk, through Sunday evening. For the Coastal Flood Warning, from 4 AM to 11 AM EDT Sunday.
    Where
    Coastal Colleton and Charleston Counties.

    Issued for this forecast zone · National Weather Service Charleston SC

    What, impacts and precautions

    What

    For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 4 to 6 feet in the surf zone. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Warning, one to two feet of inundation above ground level expected along shorelines and tidal waterways (7.9 to 8.1 feet Mean Lower Low Water at Charleston).

    Impacts

    Significant saltwater inundation will render numerous roads impassable. Properties may also flood. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

    Additional details

    High tide will occur around 7:34 AM Sunday at Charleston. Saltwater inundation will be possible 1 to 2 hours before and after high tide.

    Precautionary 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.

    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.

    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.
