Advisory, from 6 AM Wednesday to 11 PM PDT Friday.

* IMPACTS…Moderate flooding of sea water is likely over some
vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the time
of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths, and
harbor walkways. Moderate beach erosion is likely. Isolated
damage is unlikely but possible in most vulnerable areas. 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.

greatest for Long Beach, Catalina Island, Zuma Beach, and
Malibu.
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 hazardous swimming conditions, or
stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly
in such conditions, stay off the rocks.
