Instructions
A beach hazards statement for minor tidal overflow means that high astronomical tides possibly 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.
A beach hazards statement is issued when threats such as rip currents and other hazards are possible. Caution should be used when in or near the water.
