Coastal Flood Advisory issued September 6 at 2:46PM PDT until September 8 at 11:00PM PDT by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, moderate coastal
flooding expected. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking
waves of 5 to 8 feet with local sets to 12 feet and dangerous
and potentially life threatening rip currents, largest on
south- facing shores.
* WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Ventura County
Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches.
* WHEN...Until 11 PM PDT Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...There is an increased risk for ocean drowning. Rip
currents will be widespread and very strong, potentially pulling
swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause
injury, wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small
boats near shore. Significant beach erosion will occur. Flooding
of sea water is likely, around the time of high tide, over
vulnerable low-lying coastal areas such as parking lots,
beaches, walkways, and low-lying roads. Of particular concern
will be the Alamitos Peninsula area in Long Beach where coastal
flooding will potentially cause local damage to structures near
time of high tides, especially today. Other areas that will be
susceptible to coastal flooding during the next couple of days
include Catalina Island, and Oxnard to Malibu (including Point
Mugu).
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides will occur around 6.7 feet at
6pm on Sunday, 7 feet at 7pm on Monday, and 7.2 feet at 8pm on
Tuesday.
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. Follow advice from local
officials. Do NOT drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth.
