Flight.News
A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect for Los Angeles County beaches through Monday morning. Elevated surf brings dangerous rip currents, powerful breaking waves, and minor morning tidal overflows. These hazards increase drowning risks, can wash people off rocks and beaches, and capsize small boats nearshore. A significant westerly swell peaks Saturday, with heightened risks of coastal flooding and beach erosion, especially along west-facing shores. Coastal hazards are likely to continue into next week.
