Beach Hazards Statement

* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, minor tidal overflow flooding with elevated surf and dangerous rip currents are expected. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor to moderate coastal flooding can be expected near times of high tide, especially with the Sunday morning high tide.

* WHERE...Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast and Santa Barbara County Southeastern Coast.

* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Tuesday afternoon. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 6 AM Sunday to 10 PM PDT Monday.

* IMPACTS...Minor to moderate flooding of sea water is likely around high tide at low-lying beach and harbor areas that is uncommon with normal tidal ranges. Enhanced beach erosion is possible. The risk for significant damage is very low. There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats nearshore. Large secondary high tides are also expected each evening.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides are expected to peak around 7.7 feet on Sunday morning, then 7.1 to 7.3 feet on Monday and Tuesday mornings.
