...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM THIS MORNING TO 11 PM PDT WEDNESDAY... ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO 2 AM PDT THURSDAY... * WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 10 to 13 feet with dangerous rip currents. Highest waves are expected on west and southwest facing beaches. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding expected around the time of high tides. * WHERE...San Luis Obispo County Beaches and Santa Barbara County Central Coast Beaches. * WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 8 AM this morning to 11 PM PDT Wednesday. For the High Surf Advisory, from 9 PM this evening to 2 AM PDT Thursday. * IMPACTS...Flooding of sea water is likely, around the time of high tide, over vulnerable low-lying coastal areas such as parking lots, beaches, and walkways. Significant damage to roads or structures is NOT expected. 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...High tides of 5.5 to 6 feet are expected around 1030 to 11 am and 11 to 1130 pm today and Wednesday. During the high tides today and this evening, the focus of coastal flooding concerns will be around Pismo Beach, Oceano, Port San Luis, and Avila Beaches due to the strong south to southwest winds coupled with building seas and high tides.

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.
