Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...Minor tidal overflow flooding is expected. Dangerous
rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf expected.

* WHERE...Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast and Santa
Barbara County Southeastern Coast.

* WHEN...From Saturday morning through Tuesday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...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. The risk for
significant damage is very low. 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.

common each morning, with large secondary high tides in the
evening hours.
