  • ...Beach run-up will increase through the evening...
    .Though wave heights offshore are decreasing, tides are still
    running higher than astronomical by about a foot. A late
    afternoon astronomical tide near two feet at Brazos
    Santiago/South Padre Island, plus an additional swell of about
    one foot will push the combined tide height to nearly three feet.
    This will result in water running up on the beaches to near the
    dunes through this evening.
    ...Beach Run-up This Evening...
    * COASTAL FLOODING...Morning beach cam observations show water
    running part way up the beaches of South Padre Island. Further
    run-up will occur through the afternoon as the tide flows
    toward high this evening.
    * TIMING...High tide at 545 PM.
    * IMPACTS...Moderate risk of rip currents, rough surf, and water
    running up on the beaches, possibly reaching some of the
    dunes.
