Beach Hazards Statement

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf expected. Minor tidal overflow during high tides.

* WHERE...Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches.

* WHEN...Through Monday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...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. Minor flood impacts are possible during high tides with water flowing over normally dry sand and to lower parking lots or paths. Moderate beach erosion is possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Additional flood impacts are likely into next weekend with tides reaching 7 ft as early as Friday. Tides will peak over the weekend into early next week 7.0-7.8 ft. Elevated surf may increase flood impacts during this time, especially across west to northwest facing beaches. Reminder, tides mentioned have been corrected to reflect the most recent trends in actual tide observations.
