Tidal overflow will flood some normally dry beach areas. * WHERE...San Luis Obispo County Beaches and Santa Barbara County Central Coast Beaches. * WHEN...Until 3 AM PST Thursday. * IMPACTS...There is an increased risk for ocean drowning.

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. No significant damage is expected. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...High tides of 7.2 to 7.8 feet MLLW will occur between 6 and 10am each morning. Minor coastal flooding will persist through Saturday due to the very large high tides. A Beach Hazard Statement will likely to be issued following the expiration of this High Surf Advisory. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions, or stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly in such conditions, stay off the rocks. &&
