Catalina/Santa Barbara Islands, Malibu and Los Angeles County Beaches are the focus of a high surf advisory released at 12:52 p.m. on Wednesday by the National Weather Service. The advisory is valid from Thursday 3 p.m. until Saturday, Mar. 29 at 11 a.m.
The NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA adds to anticipate, “Large breaking waves of 6 to 9 feet with dangerous rip currents.”
“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,” the NWS said. “Remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions, or stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly in such conditions, stay off the rocks.”
