A beach hazards statement for minor tidal overflow means that
high astronomical tides, especially in combination with above
normal surf, will likely produce minor flooding of low-lying
areas along the beach such as beach parking lots. Coastal
officials should take the necessary precautionary measures to
safeguard their beaches.

Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water to avoid
hazardous swimming conditions.
