Details

* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 5 to 8 feet with dangerous rip currents.
* WHERE...Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches.
* WHEN...From 5 PM Sunday to 11 PM PDT Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...There is an increased risk for ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Highest surf will be focused across south facing beaches due to a southerly swell produced by Tropical Storm Elida. Another tropcial system is forecast to form in a similar area and move along a similar path, bringing additional hazardous conditions to the coasts on the heels of this first event. Additionally, a long period southerly swell created by Southern Hemisphere storms will arrive late next week. Additional High Surf Advisories and/or Beach Hazards Statements may be needed next week.
