* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, 1 to 2 feet of
  inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near
  shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards
  Statement, dangerous rip currents and large breaking waves in
  the surf zone.

  evening. For the Beach Hazards Statement, through this evening.

* IMPACTS...Additional minor oceanside coastal flooding, with
  inundation 1 to 2 feet above ground level, locally higher with
  wave action, resulting in an elevated threat of continued
  property damage. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers
  away from shore into deeper water. Dangerous shore break can
  throw a swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom causing
  neck and back injuries.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The most likely time for strong rip
  currents to occur is a couple hours either side of low tide,
  which will occur around 11:00 AM Saturday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.

Life-threatening rip currents. If caught in a rip current, remain
calm. Swim in a direction following the shoreline. If tired,
float or tread water until out of the rip current. If unable to
escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.

Shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. It is
extremely important to protect your head and neck whenever you
are in breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at
all times.
