can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper
water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A significant amount of water can cover
portions of Fort Pickens Road, particularly from about 2 miles
east of Fort Pickens eastward to the far west end of Pensacola
Beach. The road often becomes impassable at this water level,
especially if combined with high surf. Significant amount of
water across portions of Highway 399 through the Gulf Islands
National Seashore, particularly around the Opal Beach area. High
water impacts significant portions of Shell Belt and Coden Belt
Roads and can result in limited travel and some full closures.

due to flood waters. Minor beach erosion can occur, primarily
when combined with high surf.
