flooding and strong rip currents are expected. For the Coastal

expected near times of high tide, especially with the Sunday
morning high tide. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking

* IMPACTS…Minor to moderate flooding of sea water is likely
around high tide at beach and harbor areas that is uncommon with
normal tidal ranges. Low lying areas will be most susceptible,
including Oceano. Enhanced beach erosion is likely. 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. Large secondary high tides are also
expected each evening.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…High tides are expected to peak around 7.5
feet on Sunday morning, then around 7 feet on Monday morning.
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.
