...HIGH SURF ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM PST THIS
MORNING...

* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 10 to 12 feet with dangerous
  rip currents. Minor coastal flooding due to abnormally high
  tides near 7 feet combined with elevated surf.

* WHERE...San Luis Obispo County Beaches and Santa Barbara
  County Central Coast Beaches.

* WHEN...Until 11 AM PST this morning.

* IMPACTS...There is an increased risk for ocean drowning. Rip
  currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large
  breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and
  rocks, and capsize small boats near shore. Pooling of sea
  water is possible around high tide at beach and harbor areas
  that is uncommon with normal tidal ranges. Enhanced beach
  erosion is also possible. No significant damage is expected.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Peak high tides near 7 feet are expected
  between 8am and 11am. Thus a combination of large surf and peak
  high tides may result in minor coastal flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions, or stay
near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly in
such conditions, stay off the rocks.
