Beach Hazards Statement

* WHAT...High risk of rip currents. Minor coastal flooding possible around high tide times late Sunday into Monday morning.

* WHERE...Gulf-facing beaches, including the Matagorda Peninsula, Brazoria County beaches, Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula.

* WHEN...Through Monday morning.

* IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Strong winds and elevated seas will drive wave runup further up the beach than is typically normal. There is a risk of minor coastal flooding along the low lying areas from the Bolivar Peninsula to Surfside around high tide times late Sunday into Monday.
