High Surf Advisory

* WHAT...Water levels 3 to 4 feet above the highest high tide line. The highest water levels will be Monday through Monday night, before returning to more normal levels on Tuesday.

* WHERE...Southern Seward Peninsula Coast.

* WHEN...Until 10 AM AKDT Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Wave run-up will push water much higher than the normal high tide line along the beach. Water may approach yards and homes in Nome in the Belmont Subdivision. Portions of the port area in Nome can expect standing water. Localized beach erosion may occur.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Prolonged southerly winds of 15 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph are expected to continue through tonight. The resulting higher seas and surf, coinciding with high tide, will raise potential for rough surf and coastal erosion. Large breaking waves of 3 to 5 feet are likely along the coast with higher waves offshore. Following 1 to 2 inches of rain already observed as of 9 AM Monday, daily rain chances will continue through midweek with lighter amounts expected.
