Severity: Minor. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...Minor to moderate coastal flooding expected due to very
high tides.

* WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands.

* WHEN...Until 1 PM PDT Thursday.

* IMPACTS...Minor to moderate flooding of sea water is likely
over vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the
time of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike
paths, and harbor walkways. Moderate to significant beach
erosion is likely. Isolated damage of structures due to sea
water inundation is possible to the most vulnerable areas.

astronomical projections. The highest tides will be through

The Coastal Flood Advisory may also need to be extended beyond
Thursday.
