LOS ANGELES – Warnings for dangerous coastal conditions were extended until late Wednesday Sunday at Los Angeles County beaches, and until Friday at Orange County beaches.
Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf of 3 to 6 feet on south-facing Los Angeles County beaches is expected, in addition to “high astronomical tides of 7.5 to 7.9 feet” each evening, according to the National Weather Service.
“There is an increased risk of ocean drowning,” the NWS said. “Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore. Minor coastal flooding is possible in low-lying areas near the times of high tides.”…
