Jax Ready shared these tips:

• Always swim near a lifeguard
• Never underestimate the ocean’s strength
• Call 911 if a lifeguard is not on duty – do not attempt to rescue someone in distress
• Know what the color of the warning flags mean
• If you find yourself caught in a rip current, stay calm, don’t fight the current, swim out then to shore. If you can’t do that, tread water or float and yell for help.

🌬️ Strong northeasterly winds will overspread coastal locations on Sat and will continue through Mon

🌊 Coastal Flooding is likely along the Atlantic Coast and the St. Johns River

South of Jacksonville Beach, St. Johns County beaches posted on social media saying vehicle access gates are temporary closed because of high tides.

St. Johns County officials are urging people to use extreme caution while at the beach and to avoid swimming in the ocean altogether.

The county says some pedestrian access points may be affected, tidal flooding could lead to restricting on-beach driving, and there could be threats of coastal flooding and erosion.
