Full alert text
* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 8
to 14 feet, peaking Saturday. Surf may locally reach 15 feet
near Ventura Harbor, where surf will likely be the largest.
Dangerous rip currents expected. For the Coastal Flood
Advisory, minor to moderate coastal flooding expected.
* WHERE...Ventura County Beaches. Surf will we highest for west-
northwest facing beaches.
* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 3 PM PST Tuesday. For
the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 4 AM to 4 PM PST Saturday.
* IMPACTS...Moderate flooding of sea water is likely over some
vulnerable low-lying coastal areas that are normally dry,
especially around the time of high tide, including over beach
parking lots, bike paths, and harbor walkways. Moderate beach
erosion is likely. Isolated damage is unlikely but possible.
There is an increased risk for ocean drowning. Rip currents
can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves
can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks, and
capsize small boats near shore.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A series of significant west-
northwesterly swells are expected to produce large surf into
next week with highest surf and greatest impacts likely
peaking Saturday and potentially again Monday. Minor to
moderate coastal flooding impacts are possible, especially
when largest surf overlaps with peak high tides. Some of these
impacts may be moderate to significant beach erosion and
shallow flooding of normally dry beaches and walkways.
What to do: Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Do
NOT drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.
Remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions, or stay
near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly in
such conditions, stay off the rocks.
