Description
What
Minor to locally moderate coastal flooding during morning high tides, as well as dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf up to 5 to 8 feet expected, especially across west facing beaches.
Where
Los Angeles County Beaches.
When
Until noon PST Tuesday.
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 that is uncommon with normal tidal ranges. Enhanced beach erosion is also possible.
Additional details
High tides of 7.2 to 7.4 feet (MLLW) are expected each morning. Surf and coastal flooding impacts peak on Monday. Since the large swell is from the west, south facing areas such as Long Beach will be less affected unlike the previous events where the swell was from the south.
Instructions
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.
