High surf advisory in place for Los Angeles County beaches until Tuesday night – waves of 5 to 8 feet predicted
Catalina/Santa Barbara Islands, Malibu, Los Angeles County Beaches and Ventura County Beaches are the focus of a high surf advisory released at 8:10 p.m. on Saturday by the National Weather Service. The advisory is in effect until Tuesday Sept. 8, at 11 p.m.
“Large breaking waves of 5 to 8 feet with local sets to 10 feet and dangerous and potentially life threatening rip currents, largest on south- facing shores,” can be anticipated according to the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA. “High tides will occur around 6.7 feet at 6pm on Sunday, 7 feet at 7pm on Monday, and 7.2 feet at 8pm on Tuesday.”
“There is an increased risk for ocean drowning. Rip currents will be widespread and very strong, potentially pulling swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore. Enhanced beach erosion will occur. Flooding of sea water is likely, around the time of high tide, over vulnerable low-lying coastal areas such as parking lots, beaches, and walkways. Areas most susceptible to coastal flooding will include Avalon, Long Beach (Alamitos Peninsula), and Oxnard to Malibu (including Point Mugu),” according to the NWS. “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. Follow advice from local officials. Do NOT drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.”
