On Monday at 1:48 a.m. the National Weather Service issued a high surf advisory in effect until Wednesday Oct. 1, at 6 p.m. for Malibu.
“Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves of 5 to 8 feet expected on south-facing beaches,” according to the NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA. “Particularly vulnerable south- facing beaches may see shallow coastal flooding over normally dry beach areas.”
“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.”
