Beach Hazards Statement

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf expected. Minor coastal overflows possible due to abnormally high tides between 6.7 and 7.5 feet and gusty southerly winds.

* WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, San Luis Obispo County Beaches, Santa Barbara County Central Coast Beaches, Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast, Santa Barbara County Southeastern Coast, Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches.

* WHEN...Through Sunday afternoon.

* 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. No significant damage is expected. 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.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Peak high tides are expected between 7 am and 8 am Friday, shifting to between 9 am and 10 am by Sunday. There is a moderate chance for Coastal Flood Advisories and/or High Surf Advisories to be issued for this weekend as another storm system may generate strong winds accompanied by a larger swell.
