* WHAT...For vulnerable south-facing beaches, like Avalon and Pebbly Beach, damaging sea-water flooding is likely. For all other beaches and harbors, minor coastal flooding is expected. * WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands. * WHEN...Until 3 PM PDT Sunday. * IMPACTS...For vulnerable south-facing beaches, sea-water flooding can damage beach roads and structures, especially around the time of high tide. For all other beaches and harbors, shallow and minor sea-water flooding can impact beaches and walkways. For all beach areas, significant erosion is expected. There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Sunday carries the widest range of coastal flooding outcomes due to chances of rain, wind, low pressure tidal enhancements, and swells from multiple directions. Coastal flooding impacts on Sunday could be similar to other days, or greatly enhanced. High tides of 7.3 to 7.6 feet will be common each morning. This warning may be extended past Sunday, or converted to a Coastal Flood Advisory through Tuesday.
