...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 2 AM SUNDAY TO 9 AM PST
TUESDAY...

* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 10 to 15 feet on Saturday, 15 to

  Tuesday. Very dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood
  Advisory, coastal flooding expected.

* WHERE...San Luis Obispo County Beaches and Santa Barbara County
  Central Coast Beaches, largest on west to northwest facing
  shores.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 1 AM PST Sunday. For
  the High Surf Warning, from 1 AM Sunday to noon PST Tuesday.
  For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 2 AM Sunday to 9 AM PST
  Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of sea water is likely, around the time of
  high tide, over vulnerable low-lying coastal areas such as
  parking lots, beaches, and walkways. Significant damage to
  roads or structures is NOT expected. Powerful waves and strong
  rip currents will pose an exceptional risk of ocean drowning
  and damage to coastal structures like piers and jetties. Large
  breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and
  rocks, and capsize small boats near shore.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides between 4.0 and 5.0 feet MLLW
  are expected each morning between 3 and 6am. The risk for
  shallow but impactful coastal flooding is highest during these
  times, with flooded beach roads and parking lots possible,
  especially for the Oceano Dunes area. Monday night through
  Tuesday morning pose the greatest risk for coastal flooding and
  high surf.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Do
NOT drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.

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