Coastal Flood Advisory issued October 8 at 1:10PM PDT until October 13 at 2:00PM PDT by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
WHAT: Minor to moderate coastal flooding expected, with
isolated significant flooding possible especially on Sunday.
Elevated surf and dangerous rip currents expected.
WHERE: Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Ventura County
Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches.
WHEN: Until 2 PM PDT Tuesday.
IMPACTS: Moderate flooding of sea water is likely over some
vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the time
of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths, and
harbor walkways. Moderate to significant beach erosion is
likely. Isolated damage is possible in most vulnerable areas,
such as the Alamitos Peninsula in Long Beach. 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: The greatest risk for coastal flooding is
on Sunday, when extreme tides, large waves, and strong winds
could all peak together. A targeted Coastal Flood Warning may be
considered if future guidance increases the chance of an extreme
scenario. High tides of 7.0 to 7.6 feet will be common each
morning, with large secondary high tides in the evening hours.
