NWS Forecast Office Los Angeles, CA

Long period south swells are expected to bring elevated surf to south facing beaches from Los Angeles to Ventura Counties. Elevated surf heights of 3 to 6 feet can be expected. The main impact with these swells will be an increased threat of drowning due to strong rip currents. If caught in a rip current, do not try to swim against it. Swim parallel to the shore to get out of the rip current, then swim back to the shore. Always swim near a lifeguard.
