High surf advisory in place for Los Angeles County beaches from Sunday to Tuesday
Malibu, Los Angeles County Beaches and Ventura County Beaches are included in a high surf advisory released by the National Weather Service on Friday at 12:53 p.m. The advisory is valid from Sunday 5 p.m. until Tuesday July 21, at 11 p.m.
“Large breaking waves of 5 to 8 feet with dangerous rip currents,” can be anticipated according to the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA. “Highest surf will be focused across south facing beaches due to a southerly swell produced by Tropical Storm Elida. Another tropcial system is forecast to form in a similar area and move along a similar path, bringing additional hazardous conditions to the coasts on the heels of this first event. Additionally, a long period southerly swell created by Southern Hemisphere storms will arrive late next week. Additional High Surf Advisories and/or Beach Hazards Statements may be needed next week.”
“There is an increased risk for ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore,” the NWS said. “Remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions, or stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly in such conditions, stay off the rocks.”
