NWS / NOAA weather: Coastal Flood Warning issued October 10 at 1:51PM PDT until October 11 at 3:00PM PDT by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

Sunday, especially near the Sunday morning high tide where
anticipated tide levels are expected to be around 8 feet. The
most likely areas for DAMAGING coastal flooding on Sunday
morning will be vulnerable southeast facing beaches, such as
Avalon and Pebbly Beach. For all other beaches and harbors,
minor to moderate coastal flooding is expected. The most
DAMAGING and WIDESPREAD coastal flooding risk along southeast
beaches will likely be with the Sunday morning high tide due to
the expected combination of very high level tide levels
approaching 8 feet (including additive effect of low barometric
pressure, high surf of 5 to 8 feet, and light to moderate
rainfall.

lots, and walkways is likely, especially around the time of high
tide. Isolated damage is likely across southeast facing beaches
near Sunday mornings high tide. Significant beach erosion is
expected. There is an increased risk for ocean drowning. Rip
currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large
breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and
rocks, and capsize small boats near shore.
