* WHAT...For the Coastal Flood Warning, significant coastal flooding expected. Inundation of 2 to 3 feet above ground level is possible along shorelines and low-lying coastal areas. For the High Surf Warning, dangerously large breaking waves expected in the surf zone.

* WHERE...North Coast and Central Coast zones.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Warning, from 6 AM to 2 PM PST Tuesday. For the High Surf Warning, from 7 AM Tuesday to 10 AM PST Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Significant coastal flooding due to high tides and storm surge is expected. This is expected to lead to numerous road closures. Low lying property including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure may be inundated. Shoreline erosion or damage may occur. Breaking waves can sweep people off jetties and docks, and into dangerous seas. Life-threatening surfing conditions and significant beach erosion can be expected.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Strong low pressure is expected to move just north of the region Tuesday, which, when combined with strong onshore flow and large breaking waves is enhancing the coastal flooding threat Tuesday.

* AFFECTED AREAS: NORTH COAST ... CENTRAL COAST

Instructions:

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Inundation above ground level refers to the height above the Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) level. Everyone should remain out of the water due to life-threatening surf conditions. Stay off of jetties, piers, and other waterside infrastructure.
