Plain English
What these alerts mean
A warning means the hazard is happening or about to; a watch means conditions favour it; an advisory is a lesser hazard still worth planning around.
Minor coastal flooding is expected, usually around high tide. Expect water on low-lying roads near the shore.
Significant coastal flooding is occurring or imminent, typically at high tide. Move away from low-lying shoreline areas.
Large breaking waves are expected on beaches, with dangerous rip currents. Stay off jetties and out of the water.
