The San Luis Obispo County coastline is under a tsunami advisory, meaning that an actual tsunami is possible after a magnitude 8 earthquake hit Chile earlier today — so please be advised. Stay away from the beaches. If there is a tsunami, the sandspit will likely not protect your home from damage if you live by the Los Osos bay area. Stay away from the beaches and marinas in Morro Bay and Cayucos. Hopefully, if there’s no tsunami, expect strong currents in the water.
UPDATE (7:22 PM PST): A high surf advisory will remain in effect until 9:00 PM, but the advisory warning is no longer in effect for the area. Still, it’s best to stay away from the beaches and marinas until 9:00 PM.
