Effective: Fri July 31, 2026, 2:12 PM
Expires: Sat August 1, 2026, 9:00 AM

* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, frequent, moderate to strong rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, minor coastal flooding. * WHERE...Ventura County Beaches. * WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Saturday afternoon. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 3 AM PDT Saturday. * 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 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. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides of 5.5 to near 6.0 feet will occur in the evening hours tonight.

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 hazardous swimming conditions, or stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly in such conditions, stay off the rocks.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
