Description
What
Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf. There is a risk of moderate coastal flooding especially Monday and Tuesday.
Where
Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches. Primarily south-facing beaches.
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. Moderate flooding of sea water is possibly over some vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the late morning high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths, and harbor walkways. Moderate beach erosion is likely. Isolated damage is possible.
Additional details
Coastal Flood Advisory products will likely be needed for Monday and Tuesday.
Instructions
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.
