    Beach Hazard Statement - 8:10am Thu Sep 10 2026

    ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

    WHAT: Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to
    elevated surf. Abnormally high tides around 7 feet are
    expected in the evening between 8pm and 10pm.

    WHERE: Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Santa Barbara
    County Southwestern Coast, Santa Barbara County Southeastern
    Coast, Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles
    County Beaches.

    WHEN: Through this evening.

    IMPACTS: Pooling of sea water is possible around high tide at
    beach and harbor areas that is uncommon with normal tidal
    ranges. Enhanced beach erosion is also possible. No
    significant damage is expected. There is also an increased
    risk of ocean drowning due to strong rip currents. Rip
    currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can
    wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats
    nearshore.

    ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Lingering southerly swell will create
    hazardous rip currents and elevated surf conditions. Elevated
    surf may also enhance any minor coastal flood impacts during
    high tide.

    PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:

    Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or
    stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly
    in such conditions, stay off the rocks.
