* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf up to 4 to 6 feet expected. Surf will likely increase around Monday for the Ventura Coasts. * WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast, Santa Barbara County Southeastern Coast, Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches. * WHEN...Through Tuesday morning. * 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. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides of 7.2 to 7.6 feet (MLLW) are expected each morning. Surf and coastal flooding impacts peak on Monday, when a High Surf Advisory and Coastal Flood Advisory is likely to be issued for the Ventura Coasts. For the remainder of the coasts, it is possible that a Coastal Flood Advisory is needed for Monday as well.

* WHAT...Minor to locally moderate coastal flooding during morning high tides, as well as dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf up to 4 to 6 feet expected, especially across west facing beaches. * WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches. * WHEN...Until noon PST Tuesday. * 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. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides of 7.2 to 7.6 feet (MLLW) are expected each morning. Surf and coastal flooding impacts peak on Monday. Since the large swell is from the west, south facing areas such as Malibu and Long Beach will be less affected unlike the previous events where the swell was from the south.
