Los Angeles County beaches was placed under a beach hazards statement by the National Weather Service on Friday at 2:05 p.m. The statement is valid from Sunday 11 a.m. until Wednesday July 15, at 5 p.m.
“Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf expected. Potential thunderstorms could produce dangerous lightning,” according to the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA. “A south to southwest swell will affect the coastal waters through the week. With the longer period swell, the potential for larger surf and a greater risk for rip currents will be likely. High tides are expected to continue through this weekend with Monday being the peak of 7.0 to 7.6 ft above MLLW. With the high tides and south swell, there is the potential for some minor coastal flooding in low-lying areas. Another concern will be the potential for lightning starting Sunday with a 10-20% of thunderstorms possible.”
“There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats nearshore. Lightning strikes can harm individuals that are struck,” the NWS said. “Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly in such conditions, stay off the rocks. Seek shelter inside a fully enclosed building or car with metal roof if lightning is in the area and wait until the lightning has left the area.”
