...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM PDT THIS
AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to
  elevated surf expected.

* WHERE...San Luis Obispo County Beaches and Santa Barbara
  County Central Coast Beaches.

* WHEN...Until 5 PM PDT this afternoon.

* IMPACTS...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...Highest surf will be focused across south
  facing beaches due to a southerly swell produced by Tropical
  Storm Elida. Additional Beach Hazards Statements or High Surf
  Advisories will likely be needed through the rest of the week
  due to a series of incoming southerly swells.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or
stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly
in such conditions, stay off the rocks.
