Active AlertsVentura County Beaches

What: Minor to locally moderate coastal flooding with elevated surf and dangerous rip currents expected.
Where: Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches.
When: Until 11 PM PDT Friday.
Impacts: Moderate flooding of sea water is likely over some vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the time of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths, and harbor walkways. Moderate beach erosion is likely. Isolated damage is unlikely but possible in most vulnerable areas. 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.
Additional Details: Areas of most concern regarding coastal flooding impacts are the beaches from Malibu to Ventura especially on Thursday and Friday. These products will likely need to be extended into the weekend.

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Do NOT drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. 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.
