Beach Hazards Statement issued November 8 at 12:52PM PST until November 10 at 12:00PM PST by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

Effective: Sun November 8, 2026, 12:52 PM
Expires: Mon November 9, 2026, 2:00 PM

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf up to 4 to 6 feet expected. Minor tidal overflow possible during morning high tides, especially across west facing beaches. * WHERE...Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast and Santa Barbara County Southeastern Coast. * 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.

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.
