Flight.News
A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect for Los Angeles County Beaches from Sunday morning through Tuesday morning. Elevated surf building to 3 to 6 feet will generate dangerous rip currents and large breaking waves, increasing the risk of ocean drowning. Waves may sweep people off beaches and rocks, capsize nearshore small boats, and cause minor beach erosion and tidal overflows along south-facing beaches.
