Instruction:
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.
