The elevated surf and king tides pose significant risks to swimmers, surfers, and boaters. Rip currents and breaking waves increase the likelihood of ocean drownings, while waves can capsize small boats near the shore. Low-lying areas, such as Balboa Island and Lido Village, are particularly vulnerable to minor flooding, which could lead to localized street ponding. Motorists are advised to avoid driving through flooded areas to prevent creating wakes that could exacerbate property damage. Beachgoers are urged to stay off rock jetties, which can be especially dangerous under these conditions.
