Malibu and Los Angeles County Beaches are the focus of an updated beach hazards statement released at 1:05 a.m. on Sunday by the National Weather Service. The statement is valid from 6 a.m. until Wednesday, Apr. 30 at 9 p.m.
The NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA adds 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 may occur Monday and Tuesday between 6 p.m. And 3 a.m. During high tide.”
“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,” according to the NWS. “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.”
