...High Surf Advisory Remains In Effect Until 4 Am Edt Saturday...
Significant Beach Erosion And Dune Loss In Vulnerable Areas Has Already Been Reported The Past Few Days At East Central Florida Beaches. Additional Beach Erosion From The Rough Pounding Surf Will Continue Around The Time Of The Next Tide From Strong And Gusty North Winds Of 20 To 25 Mph. The Dune Line May Be Breached In Areas Where Significant Erosion Has Already Occurred. The Next High Tide Will Occur Around 3 Pm This Afternoon...and Again Overnight Tonight.
A High Surf Advisory Means That High And Extremely Dangerous Surf Will Affect The East Central Florida Beaches. Persons Are Advised Against Entering The Surf During These Rough Ocean Conditions.
On Florida's east coast, many beaches have suffered serious beach erosion over the last week or so.
In some places, homes and buildings have lost most of their front yards, and a few are in danger of being washed away if more erosion occurs.
In Flagler Beach (which is under high surf and coastal flooding advisories) a section of state road A1A is now only about 3 - 4 paces away from the 'new' edge of the coast.
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- Brevard County has petitioned the state to declare several beaches disaster areas.
The problem is erosion from hurricane Noel. Some Brevard County residents said they're being told to move back from the beach.
At least two property owners in Melbourne Beach said they've been asked to remove a building and a pool because Noel chewed up the beach front. The owner of a resort said she's being denied the permits she needs to repair her property.
"I'm not supposed to maintain it, repair it or do anything to it. They want me to take it down," said Gierdre Snipas, a resort owner.
The county estimates it will cost more than $10-million to restore Brevard County beaches.
Soon you'll be able to check a weekly red tide forecast to see when and where the noxious algae is blooming, before you walk, swim or surf into it.
Florida is moving ahead with a five-year, $1.25 million contract to help finance a new center to improve the state's red tide monitoring. . .
The red tide forecasts could become available to the general public by next summer. The results would be incorporated into the research institute's weekly red tide status reports available at floridamarine.org.
While there have been red tide 'blooms' this year on Florida's East (Atlantic) Coast Beaches, such instances are much more common along the state's Gulf Coast.
Please be careful in the waters near Florida East Coast ports for the next week or so. Conditions are unusually dangerous right now, with a very high risk of RIP CURRENTS.
Over 100 people have been rescued by lifeguards in the last few days.
See next post for a copy of an article about Daytona beaches. Although it's about Daytona, the rip current danger extends from north of Daytona to Miami - virtually the entire east coast of the state.
The surf along the coast continued to be dangerous Monday morning.
It is so bad that the Volusia County Beach Patrol is flying two flags to warn swimmers about the hidden dangers in the water.
A red flag is alerting swimmers about rip currents. Winds are kicking up rough surf conditions with gusts of up to 20 mph.
A purple flag is warning them about Man O' Wars in the ocean.
The beach patrol said northwest winds are bringing dozens of the jellyfish-like marine animal from New Smyrna Beach to Ormond Beach.
