Coastal Flood Advisory issued July 30 at 2:14PM PDT until August 1 at 3:00AM PDT by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 4
to 8 feet with dangerous rip currents, highest across south to
southwest facing beaches exposed to southerly swells. Very
strong rip currents are occuring along some beaches,
especially exposed south to southwest facing beaches. For the
Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding expected at the
times of highest tide.
* WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Ventura County
Beaches, Malibu Coast, and Los Angeles County Beaches.
* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 3 AM PDT
Saturday. For the High Surf Advisory, until 5 PM PDT Saturday.
* IMPACTS...Flooding of sea water is likely around the time of
high tide, over low-lying coastal areas such as parking lots,
beaches, and walkways. Significant damage to roads or
structures is NOT expected. There is an increased risk of
ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out
to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off
beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides of 6.2 to near 7.0 feet will
occur in the evening hours through Friday night, peaking
tonight through Thursday night. In conjunction with the
highest expected surf from Tropical Cyclone Genevieve
southerly swell, the best potential for minor coastal flooding
impacts is expected Wednesday and Thursday evening.
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.
