Event: Coastal Flood Advisory
Description:
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 10 to 15 feet today through early Monday, then 12 to 18 feet Monday afternoon through Tuesday. Very dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, coastal flooding expected.
* WHERE...Ventura County Beaches.
* WHEN...For the High Surf Warning, until noon PST Tuesday. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 9 AM PST Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Flooding of sea water is likely around the times of high tides, 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 2 AM and 5 AM. The risk for shallow but impactful coastal flooding is highest during these times, with flooded beach roads and parking lots possible. It appears that the risk of coastal flooding will be greatest Monday night through Tuesday morning.
Target Area:
- Ventura County Beaches
