* WHERE...Beaches of Orange and San Diego Counties.
* WHEN...Through Wednesday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Minor tidal overflow and minor coastal erosion expected during high tides. Additionally, elevated surf will lead to strong rip currents.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides will approach 7.0 feet each morning Monday through Wednesday. These water levels in combination with elevated surf provides a window for moderate coastal flooding on Monday and Tuesday, especially along south and southwest-facing beaches.
Instructions
A beach hazards statement for minor tidal overflow means that high astronomical tides in combination with above normal surf will likely produce minor flooding of low-lying areas along the beach such as beach parking lots. Coastal officials should take the necessary precautionary measures to safeguard their beaches.
