PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
An Extreme Heat Warning means that a period of very hot temperatures,
even by local standards, will occur. Actions should be taken to
lessen the impact of the extreme heat.
Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible and
drink plenty of water.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in
shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency! Call 9 1 1.
Public cooling shelters are available in some areas. Consult county

...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM PDT
TUESDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM PDT TUESDAY...
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, moderate coastal flooding
expected. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 4
to 7 feet with local sets to 8 feet and dangerous and
potentially life threatening rip currents. Highest waves on
south- facing shores of Los Angeles County.
* WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Ventura County
Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches.
* WHEN...Until 11 PM PDT Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip
currents will be widespread and very strong, potentially pulling
swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause
injury, wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small
boats near shore. Significant beach erosion will occur. Flooding
of sea water is likely, around the time of high tide, over
vulnerable low-lying coastal areas such as parking lots,
beaches, walkways, and low-lying roads. Of particular concern
will be the Alamitos Peninsula area in Long Beach where coastal
flooding will potentially cause local damage to structures near
time of high tides. Other areas that will be susceptible to
coastal flooding during the next couple of days include Catalina
Island, and Oxnard to Malibu (including Point Mugu).
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides occurred around 7 feet at 7 pm
today and will be 7.2 feet at 8 pm on Tuesday.
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.

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM PDT TUESDAY...
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 4 to 7 feet with sets up to 9
feet, highest at south and southwest-facing beaches. Strong and
dangerous rip and longshore currents. Minor coastal flooding
from a combination of high surf and high astronomical tides
during the evenings.
* WHERE...Beaches of Orange and San Diego Counties.
* WHEN...Through 11 PM PDT Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with isolated
road closures expected. Dangerous swimming and surfing
conditions and beach erosion.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Predicted higher high tides:
Newport Beach: Today: 6.8 feet at 7:08 PM. Tuesday: 7.0 feet at
7:59 PM.
La Jolla: Today: 6.7 feet at 7:03 PM. Tuesday: High 6.9 feet at
7:54 PM PDT.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
It is extremely dangerous to fish or observe waves from exposed
coastal structures or rocks during high surf conditions. Very
large waves can suddenly sweep across previously dry areas.
Swimming or surfing in these waves may be dangerous for anyone
due to the powerful waves and strong rip currents.
Longshore currents commonly occur when waves approach the
shoreline at an angle. They can be particularly dangerous near a
jetty or pier.
