Event:
Coastal Flood Advisory
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
October 7, 2026 - 7:36am
Expires:
October 7, 2026 - 9:30pm
Description:
* WHAT...Minor to locally moderate coastal flooding with elevated
surf and dangerous rip currents expected.
* WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Ventura County
Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches.
* WHEN...Until 11 PM PDT Friday.
* IMPACTS...Moderate flooding of sea water is likely over some
vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the time
of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths,
and harbor walkways. Moderate beach erosion is likely.
Isolated damage is unlikely but possible in most vulnerable
areas. 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...Areas of most concern regarding coastal
flooding impacts are the beaches from Malibu to Ventura
especially on Thursday and Friday. These products will likely
need to be extended into the weekend.
Instruction:
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.
