...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY
EVENING...

* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, Up to 1.5 ft of
  inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas
  near shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards
  Statement, increased risk of rip currents and sneaker waves
  expected with breaking waves up to 16 feet.

* WHERE...San Francisco, Northern Monterey Bay and Southern
  Monterey Bay and Big Sur Coast Counties.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 3 PM PDT Tuesday.
  For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Monday evening.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only
  isolated road closures expected. High tides will result in
  flooding along coastal trails, cut off access to some low-
  lying beaches and coastal areas, and bring water and waves
  farther up the beach than typical. Dangerous conditions are
  forecast along the shoreline. Hazards include sneaker waves,
  strong rip currents, and large breaking waves.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide
  is expected to be 1.5 ft above normal (7.3 ft MLLW) at 12:46 PM
  Monday 10/12, and 1.4 ft above normal (7.2 ft MLLW) at 1:14 PM
  Tuesday 10/13. These predictions include up to 1.5 ft of surge
  that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat.
  High tide varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the
  Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.

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.

Stay off of jetties, piers, rocks, and other waterside
infrastructure. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous surf
and NEVER turn your back on the ocean. Monitor local weather,
surf and tide forecasts at www.weather.gov/mtr.
