* IMPACTS…Flooding of sea water is likely, around the time of
high tide, over vulnerable low-lying coastal areas such as
parking lots, beaches, and walkways. Significant damage to
roads or structures is NOT expected. Powerful waves and strong
rip currents will pose an exceptional risk of ocean drowning
and damage to coastal structures like piers and jetties. Large
breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and
rocks, and capsize small boats near shore.

are expected each morning between 2 and 5am. The risk for
shallow but impactful coastal flooding is highest during these
times, with flooded beach roads and parking lots possible.
Monday night through Tuesday morning pose the greatest risk for
coastal flooding and high surf.
