...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM MONDAY TO
5 PM PDT TUESDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM MONDAY TO 5 PM
PDT TUESDAY...
* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents
and breaking waves due to elevated surf. For the Coastal Flood
Advisory, moderate coastal flooding expected. For the High Surf
Advisory, breaking waves of 4 to 7 feet with dangerous rip
currents.
* WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Ventura County
Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches. Focused
across exposed south facing coasts.
* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through 5 AM Monday.
For the Coastal Flood Advisory and High Surf Advisory, from 5
AM Monday to 5 PM PDT Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Moderate flooding of sea water is likely over some
vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the time
of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths,
and harbor walkways. Moderate to locally significant beach
erosion is likely. Very localized damage possible to most
vulnerable areas. 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.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Areas of most concern are Avalon, Long
Beach (Peninsula and Belmont Shore). While the surf will
likely be smaller than Marie (from earlier this month), the
lingering erosion effects enhances the vulnerabilities for
locally more significant coastal flooding.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Do
NOT drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.
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.
Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or
stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly
in such conditions, stay off the rocks.

AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves of 3-5 feet.
Minor tidal overflows possible especially Monday and Tuesday.
* WHERE...Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast and Santa
Barbara County Southeastern Coast.
* WHEN...Through Wednesday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip
currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can
wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats
nearshore. Pooling of sea water is possible around high tide
at beach and harbor areas (including Santa Barbara Harbor).
Enhanced beach erosion is also possible. No significant damage
is expected.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Locally moderate coastal flooding impacts
possible but unlikely for areas such as Santa Barbara Harbor.
These impacts may include moderate flooding of sea water over
some vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the
time of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike
paths, and harbor walkways. Additionally, locally moderate
beach erosion is possible.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or
