Severe Weather Alerts as King Tide Arrives- 12/22/14 17:30 P.S.

A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties until 3 p.m. tomorrow. Extreme high tides are expected until late morning and extreme low tides will occur during the late afternoon to late evening hours. Motorists are advised to avoid flooded areas and beach goers may lose entry and exit to coves and narrow beaches.

King Tide will also impact the Central Coast tomorrow. These high seasonal tides occur when the earth, moon, and sun are in alignment and in close proximity to one another, which results in maximum gravitational force on tidal cycles. Expect higher high tides and lower low tides as a result of this phenomenon each with their own set of unique impacts.
