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

through late Saturday night. For the High Surf Advisory, from
6 AM Sunday to 10 PM PDT Monday.

* IMPACTS…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. The risk for
significant damage is very low. 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.

common each morning.
Remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions, or stay
near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly in
