Details:
* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, An increased risk for
sneaker waves and strong rip currents with breaking waves of
15 to 20 ft expected. For the High Surf Warning, Dangerously
large breaking waves of 25 to 35 ft, with occasional sets of

Bay.

* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, until 6 PM PST this
evening. For the High Surf Warning, until 4 AM PST Sunday. For

* IMPACTS...High tides will result in flooding of low-lying
infrastructure, isolated road closures, and coastal erosion.
Rising tides will bring water and waves farther up the beach
than normal, restricting escape from beaches and coastal
areas. Dangerously large breaking waves can overpower
swimmers, pulling people into the sea from beaches, jetties,
and rocks resulting in significant physical injury and
increasing the risk of drowning. Waves can sweep across the
shoreline without warning, pulling people into the sea from
beaches, jetties, and rocks.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The Coastal Flood Advisory on Saturday is
specifically for the Pacific Coast, where large breaking waves
will spill over sea walls and run up beaches onto adjacent
infrastructure.

Information:
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be
closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
property.

Everyone should remain out of the water due to life-threatening
surf conditions. Stay off of jetties, piers, and other waterside
infrastructure.
