* WHAT…Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to
elevated surf of 3 to 6 feet expected. Combined with high
tides near 7 feet, minor and shallow coastal flooding.
* WHERE…Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast, Santa Barbara
County Southeastern Coast, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County
Beaches.
* WHEN…Through this evening.
* IMPACTS…There is an increased risk for ocean drowning. Rip
currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large
breaking waves can wash people off beaches and rocks, and
capsize small boats near shore. Pooling of sea water is
possible around high tide at beach and harbor areas that is
uncommon with normal tidal ranges. Enhanced beach erosion is
also possible. No significant damage is expected.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…High tides will occur between 6 and 9 am.
