  inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines
  and tidal waterways. For the High Rip Current Risk, dangerous
  rip currents.

* WHERE...Delaware Beaches.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 2 PM EDT this

  for the back bays of Rehoboth Bay and Little Assawoman Bay
  with this morning`s high tide cycle. Further extensions of the
  advisory may be warranted if water does not drain out of bay

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Advisory means that minor tidal flooding is
expected. Minor tidal flooding often results in some road
closures. Usually, the most vulnerable roadways will flood.

Do not leave your vehicle at a location that is prone to tidal
flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The
water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting
yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged, leading to
costly repairs.

Visit the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service at
water.weather.gov/ahps for additional water level and flood
impact information for your local tide gauge.

Always obey posted Beach Flags. If you enter the surf zone,
always have a floatation device with you and swim near a
lifeguard if possible. If caught in a rip current, relax and
float and do not swim against the current. If able, swim parallel
to the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or
wave for help.

Time of high total tides are approximate to the nearest hour.
