Check in on loved ones.

Key Details:
Multiple rounds of southerly swells impacting south facing beaches through this week.
Southern Hemisphere Swell (through Tuesday): 2 feet at 17-19 seconds from 190-210 degrees. Long periods cause STRONG rip currents and longshore currents and powerful breaking waves. The elevated surf and strong currents will lead to dangerous conditions with increased ocean rescues needed.
Additional southerly swell from Hurricane Genevieve will bring high surf to the Ventura and LA County coasts Wednesday evening through Saturday.
Actions:
Remain out of the water if possible.
Follow local lifeguards advice, and if swimming is advised, stay close to shore in shallower waters. Stay near lifeguards if you decide go into the water. If you get caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shoreline to escape, then swim at an angle away from the current, toward shore.
Stay off rocks and jetties.
