A surge is still expected but we've seen conflicting information on its expected arrival time in Long Beach. As indicated below, whatever surge does arrive may be affected by sizable p.m. high tides locally:
At 2:40 a.m. Saturday (Sept. 6), the National Weather Service issued a "Coastal Hazard Message" indicating "high surf from a moderate long-period swell...will peak today [Sept.6] then linger through Monday..."
Last night's (Sept. 5) high tide in the 7:00 p.m. hour reached roughly 6.2 feet...and tonight's (Sept. 6) sizable high tide will be a bit higher at 6.51 feet at roughly 7:51 p.m.

It's unclear at this point if a separate eastward breakwater section sustained damage in the Hurricane Marie surge [coverage here.]
