Surf heights will likely fall below advisory thresholds by Thursday night as the swell energy decreases. Peak monthly high tides combined with water levels that are running higher than predicted will lead to minor flooding along the shoreline and in low-lying coastal areas. Coastal flooding is possible around the daily peak tide, which will be during the early morning hours. * WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 12 to 18 feet along north facing shores and 8 to 12 feet along west facing shores.
