Beach Hazards Statement

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf expected. Minor coastal flooding due to abnormally high tides between 7.0 and 7.5 feet and gusty southerly winds.

* WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast, Santa Barbara County Southeastern Coast, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches.

* WHEN...Through Monday morning.

* 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 8am and 11 am. Surf is expected to build and peak during the afternoon hours today.
