Beach Hazards Statement

Issued at Wed 12:56 PM Sep. 9

Issued by: National Weather Service

Description

What: Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf. Abnormally high tides around 7 feet are expected in the evening between 8pm and 10pm.
Where: Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Santa Barbara County Southwestern Coast, Santa Barbara County Southeastern Coast, Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches.
When: Through Thursday evening.
Impacts: 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. There is also an increased risk of ocean drowning due to strong rip currents. 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: Lingering southerly swell will create hazardous rip currents and elevated surf conditions. Elevated surf may also enhance any minor coastal flood impacts during high tide.

Recommended Action

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.
