High tides could bring flooding to SLO County beaches. Here’s what to know
A storm surge could make for hazardous beach conditions this weekend.
High tides coupled with large waves could bring minor tidal overflow and coastal flooding to the beaches of San Luis Obispo County, according to the National Weather Service.
Potential flooding is likely to take place within a few hours of morning high tides.
The Weather Service issued a surf advisory for Friday through Sunday, warning beachgoers to exercise caution through the weekend. High tides bring a greater risk of rip currents and drowning.
As of 7:30 Friday, the Arroyo Grande Creek crossing in Oceano was closed during high tide.
Friday morning’s tide was projected to reach nearly 7 feet, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Large waves ranging from 10 to 15 feet were also expected.
