Official Bulletin

* WHAT...Elevated surf of 3-5 feet with sets up to 6 feet through
next Tuesday. Astronomical tides of 6.0-6.5 feet through Sunday,
rising to 6.5-7.0 feet Monday through Wednesday leading to
minor tidal overflow.

* WHERE...Beaches of Orange and San Diego Counties.

* WHEN...Through Wednesday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Minor tidal overflow and minor coastal erosion
expected during high tides. Additionally, elevated surf will
lead to strong rip currents.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides will approach 7.0 feet each
morning Monday through Wednesday. These water levels in
combination with elevated surf provides a window for moderate
coastal flooding on Monday and Tuesday, especially along south
and southwest-facing beaches.

A beach hazards statement for minor tidal overflow means that
high astronomical tides 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.
