* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, Up to 1.4 ft of

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 3 PM PDT Tuesday.
For the Beach Hazards Statement, from Saturday morning through

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only
isolated road closures expected. High tides will result in
flooding along coastal trails, cut off access to some low-

farther up the beach than typical. Dangerous conditions are
forecast along the shoreline. Hazards include sneaker waves,
strong rip currents, and large breaking waves.

is expected to be 1.4 ft above normal (7.3 ft MLLW) at 11:50 AM

Monday 10/12, and 1.1 ft above normal (7.0 ft MLLW) at 1:14 PM
Tuesday 10/13. These predictions include up to 1.2 ft of surge
that will enhance the astronomical tide and flooding threat.
High tide varies up to 90 minutes earlier or later along the
Pacific Coast and through the San Francisco Bay, respectively.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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.
Stay off of jetties, piers, rocks, and other waterside
infrastructure. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous surf
and NEVER turn your back on the ocean. Monitor local weather,
surf and tide forecasts at www.weather.gov/mtr.
