High tides, elevated surf and strong rip currents could produce minor flooding and renewed erosion through Wednesday.
A coastal flood advisory will take effect at 5 a.m. Monday along Orange County’s coastline as high tides and elevated surf approach Southern California.
The National Weather Service expects the advisory to remain in effect through 5 p.m. Wednesday. A separate beach-hazards statement remains active through early Monday.
Surf of 3 to 5 feet is expected, with occasional sets reaching 6 feet along south-facing beaches. Morning high tides are forecast to reach between 6.7 and 7 feet, peaking Tuesday.
Forecasters said the combination could cause minor flooding and erosion around low-lying beaches, parking areas, harbor walkways and other coastal locations. Strong rip currents will also create hazardous swimming conditions.
Long Beach faces a high-surf and coastal-flood advisory beginning Monday. The Peninsula and Belmont Shore are considered particularly vulnerable because of erosion caused by earlier September swells.
The National Weather Service recommends avoiding beaches around morning high tide, staying off rocks and jetties and not driving through flooded streets or around barricades.
Newport Beach is expected to reach approximately 79 degrees Sunday under mostly cloudy skies. The coastal forecast calls for mostly sunny conditions Monday, with a high near 76 degrees.
