New Year's morning I drove along the coastal highway for a pretty good stretch, and the conditions are already a little sketchy, but I don't think it's so dire that you'd just get washed away or something. The biggest risks I encountered were partial flooding in low lying sections that bank inland, and various sized rocks. No signs of new erosion along the edges of any sections I encountered. Edit: to be clear though, I wouldn't say this is a time to take a joyride in the area. I'm more speaking to the fact it's a bad idea for a fun vacation right now, not a death sentence
