Description
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.
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.
