...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM PDT
TUESDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM PDT TUESDAY...

* 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.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

TUESDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM PDT TUESDAY...

* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 4 to 7 feet with sets up to 10
  feet, highest at south and southwest-facing beaches. Strong and
  dangerous rip and longshore currents. Minor coastal flooding
  from a combination of high surf and high astronomical tides
  during the evenings.

* WHERE...Beaches of Orange and San Diego Counties.

* WHEN...Through 11 PM PDT Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with isolated road
  closures expected. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions
  and beach erosion.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Predicted higher high tides:

Newport Beach: Today: 6.2 feet at 7:08 PM. Tuesday: 6.4 feet at
7:59 PM.
La Jolla: Today: 6.1 feet at 7:03 PM. Tuesday: High 6.3 feet at
7:54 PM PDT.

Recently, actual tide levels have been measured at roughly six
inches higher than predicted levels.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

It is extremely dangerous to fish or observe waves from exposed
coastal structures or rocks during high surf conditions. Very
large waves can suddenly sweep across previously dry areas.
Swimming or surfing in these waves may be dangerous for anyone due
to the powerful waves and strong rip currents.

Longshore currents commonly occur when waves approach the
shoreline at an angle. They can be particularly dangerous near a
jetty or pier.
