High surf with the possibility of causing coastal flooding is expected on a stretch of the Southern California coast from Los Angeles to San Diego counties.
A beach hazards statement will be in effect through Saturday morning, warning of tidal overflow that could flood some beach areas. The statement covers all Los Angeles County beaches, including the Malibu coast and Catalina Island. High tides could reach 7.2 to 7.7 feet, primarily between 8 and 10 a.m. each day.
Los Angeles County Lifeguards issued a warning on social media about “abnormally large tidal fluctuations” that could create flooding risks in low-lying areas.
“If you’re heading to the beach, exercise caution, stay aware of changing conditions and keep a safe distance from the waterline,” lifeguards warned.
A separate beach hazards statement was also issued for all Orange and San Diego county coastal areas, again warning of waves topping 7 feet and possible localized flooding. The hazard statement in those counties will be in effect through Friday morning.
