...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM TUESDAY TO 8 AM PST
WEDNESDAY...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM TO NOON PST
TUESDAY...

* WHAT...For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 22 to
  25. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, High astronomical tides will
  cause minor flooding in low lying areas along the Redwood Coast.
  Up to one/one half foot of saltwater inundation above ground
  level is possible in low lying areas near shorelines and tidal 
  waterways (Between 8.8 and 8.9 feet MLLW at the Crescent City 
  tide gauge).

* WHERE...Coastal Del Norte County.

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, from 7 AM Tuesday to 8 AM PST
  Wednesday. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, from 9 AM to noon PST
  Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of lots, parks, and roads with only isolated
  road closures expected. Dangerous surfing conditions and
  localized beach erosion. Beachcombing is highly discouraged!

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds and tides
will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

Feet Above Ground is locally defined as feet above the Highest
Astronomical Tide or HAT.

Large breaking waves along the coast will lead to increased wave
run-up on beaches with waves topping and washing over large rocks
and jetties. These large waves can be erratic and unpredictable.
Use extra caution near the surf zone as these large waves will be
capable of sweeping people into the frigid and turbulent ocean
water. Mariners traversing the bar are urged to exercise extreme
caution or stay in port until the threat subsides. Please contact
the U.S. Coast Guard for information regarding harbor and bar
closures.
