High Surf, Tide to Create Flooding Potential in Seal Beach
Low-lying Orange County coastal areas are subject to elevated surf and higher-than-average tides Tuesday through Thursday.
Higher-than-average tides and elevated surf will create a potential for minor flooding in some low-lying coastal areas of Orange and San Diego counties this week, the National Weather Service advised Monday.
From early Tuesday through Thursday evening, the ocean conditions could generate flooding of such low-lying areas as beach parking lots, adjacent streets and, possibly, structures, according to the federal agency.
Over the period, midmorning high tides are expected to reach about 7 feet, and wave sets up to 6 feet will be likely, forecasters reported.
