The Tsunami Watch has been UPGRADED to a Tsunami Advisory for coastal areas of #SantaBarbaraCounty. ⚠️Stay out of water, away from beaches & waterways. #ReadySBC

Due to mass confusion, clarifying again: Tsunami Watch: Tsunami of indeterminate magnitude is possible; stand by. Tsunami Advisory: Tsunami is likely *but will probably be small.* Evacuations unlikely. Tsunami Warning: Tsunami is likely *and may be large.* Evacuations needed.

This is the current tsunami wave forecast arriving at 1150 PM PDT. Humboldt Co. is forecast to have a max. tsunami ~1 foot. Del Norte is forecast to have a max. wave height of 3-5 foot. People are advised to stay away from beaches, marinas, and harbors as many waves can arrive.

The Tsunami Advisory is still in effect for all of our coasts. However, we are expecting very isolated low end warning level tsunami conditions for portions of coastal Port San Luis including Avila Beach. Stay away from beaches, harbors & coastal roads.
