other beaches and harbors, minor coastal flooding is expected.
* WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands.
* WHEN...Until 3 PM PDT Sunday.
* IMPACTS...For vulnerable south-facing beaches, sea-water
flooding can damage beach roads and structures, especially
around the time of high tide. For all other beaches and
harbors, shallow and minor sea-water flooding can impact
beaches and walkways. For all beach areas, significant erosion
is expected. There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip
currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea.

coastal flooding outcomes due to chances of rain, wind, low
pressure tidal enhancements, and swells from multiple

to 7.6 feet will be common each morning. This warning may be
extended past Sunday, or converted to a Coastal Flood Advisory
through Tuesday.
