Beach Hazards Statement issued September 4 at 10:58AM PDT until September 8 at 11:00PM PDT by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

* WHAT…Dangerous and potentially life threatening rip currents
and breaking waves due to elevated surf expected.

* WHERE…San Luis Obispo County Beaches, Santa Barbara County
Central Coast Beaches, Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast
and Santa Barbara County Southeastern Coast.

* WHEN…From Saturday morning through Tuesday evening.

* IMPACTS…There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip
currents will be widespread and very strong, potentially pulling
swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off
beaches and rocks. Pooling of sea water is possible around high
tide at beach 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 around 6.1 feet at
5pm on Saturday, 6.3 feet at 630pm on Sunday, 6.5 feet at 730pm
on Monday, and 6.5 feet at 830pm on Tuesday.
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. Follow advice from local
officials.
