High Surf Advisory issued November 6 at 1:20AM PST until November 8 at 9:00PM PST by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 12 to 18 feet and dangerous rip currents. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, moderate coastal flooding possible. * WHERE...San Luis Obispo County Beaches and Santa Barbara County Central Coast Beaches. * WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 9 PM PST Saturday. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 2 PM PST Friday. * IMPACTS...For the High Surf Advisory, 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. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, 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 unlikely. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tide around 7 feet (MLLW) is expected to occur between 7am and 11am. There is a high risk for breaking waves at Morro Bay Harbor entrance and flooding at Oceano Dunes State Park.

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.

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf up to 6 feet expected in addition to high tides. * WHERE...Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast and Santa Barbara County Southeastern Coast. * WHEN...Through Friday afternoon. * IMPACTS...There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats nearshore. Pooling of sea water is possible around high tide at beach and harbor areas that is uncommon with normal tidal ranges. Enhanced beach erosion is also possible. Significant damage is unlikely. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tide around 7 feet (MLLW) is expected to occur between 7am and 11am.

Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly in such conditions, stay off the rocks.
