Impact & Risks

Coastal flooding, beach erosion, and dangerous rip currents are significant risks for South Florida residents, especially in areas near the coast and Intracoastal waterways. High tides between 8-11 a.m. and 8-11 p.m. each day will exacerbate flooding concerns. Strong winds, rough seas, and heavy rain may further impact vulnerable areas, including low-lying roads and properties. Entering the water is strongly discouraged due to hazardous conditions.
