Update: Beach hazards statement for Los Angeles County beaches until 3 a.m. Wednesday
Malibu, Los Angeles County Beaches and Ventura County Beaches were placed under an updated beach hazards statement by the National Weather Service on Tuesday at 12:44 a.m. The statement is in effect until Wednesday, May. 28 at 3 a.m.
The NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA states to prepare for, “Breaking waves up to 6 feet for south facing beaches and dangerous rip currents due to a long lived, long period south swell. Minor nuisance flooding at susceptible south facing beaches during high tide in the evening hours through Tuesday.”
“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. Pooling of sea water is possible around high tide at beach and harbor areas that is uncommon with normal tidal ranges. Enhanced beach erosion is also possible. No significant damage is expected,” 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.”
