...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 AM PDT
MONDAY...
...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 enhance 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.
