...HIGH SURF WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 PM PST TUESDAY...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 PM PST
TUESDAY...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Warning, very large and choppy
  breaking waves of 5 to 8 feet along east facing shores, with
  strong and dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood
  Advisory, coastal flooding is possible and could become
  locally damaging.

* WHERE...East facing beaches and harbors of Catalina and Santa
  Barbara Islands.

* WHEN...Until 2 PM PST Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Strong wind-induced waves may bring shallow flooding
  along the beach areas as well as coastal walkways and roads
  like Crescent Avenue and Saint Catherine Way. 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. 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.


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.
