High surf advisory issued for Mobile and Baldwin counties from Monday to Wednesday – breaking waves of 4 to 6 feet anticipated

A high surf advisory was issued by the National Weather Service on Sunday at 2:48 p.m. valid from Monday 9 p.m. until Wednesday 6 a.m. for Mobile and Baldwin counties. “Large breaking waves of 4 to 6 feet expected in the surf zone,” describes the weather service. “A significant amount of water can cover portions of Fort Pickens Road, particularly from about 2 miles east of Fort Pickens eastward to near 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, can result in limited travel and some full closers. Portions of County Road 1 near Weeks Bay may become impassable due to flood waters. Minor beach erosion can occur, primarily when combined with high surf.”
