⚠ Beach Hazards Statement · until Mon 12:00 PM

* WHAT...High risk of rip currents. Minor coastal flooding possible around high tide times late Sunday into Monday morning. * WHERE...Gulf-facing beaches, including the Matagorda Peninsula, Brazoria County beaches, Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula. * WHEN...Through Monday morning. * IMPACTS...Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.

There is a risk of minor coastal flooding along the low lying areas from the Bolivar Peninsula to Surfside around high tide times late Sunday into Monday.

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.
