Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands-Ventura County Beaches-
Malibu Coast-Los Angeles County Beaches-
727 PM PDT Sat Sep 26 2026

...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT...
...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM MONDAY TO
5 PM PDT TUESDAY...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 5 AM MONDAY TO 5 PM
PDT TUESDAY...

* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip currents
  and breaking waves due to elevated surf. For the Coastal Flood
  Advisory, moderate coastal flooding expected. For the High Surf
  Advisory, breaking waves of 4 to 7 feet with dangerous rip
  currents.

* WHERE...Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, Ventura County
  Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles County Beaches. Focused
  across exposed south facing coasts.

* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, through 5 AM Monday.
  For the Coastal Flood Advisory and High Surf Advisory, from 5
  AM Monday to 5 PM PDT Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Moderate flooding of sea water is likely over some
  vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the time
  of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike paths,
  and harbor walkways. Moderate to locally significant beach
  erosion is likely. Very localized damage possible to most
  vulnerable areas. There is an increased risk for ocean
  drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to
  sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off
  beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats near shore.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Areas of most concern are Avalon, Long
  Beach (Peninsula and Belmont Shore). While the surf will
  likely be smaller than Marie (from earlier this month), the
  lingering erosion effects enhances the vulnerabilities for
  locally more significant coastal flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. Do
NOT drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth.

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

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.

  Enhanced beach erosion is also possible. No significant damage
  is expected.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Locally moderate coastal flooding impacts
  possible but unlikely for areas such as Santa Barbara Harbor.
  These impacts may include moderate flooding of sea water over
  some vulnerable low-lying coastal areas, especially around the
  time of high tide, including over beach parking lots, bike
  paths, and harbor walkways. Additionally, locally moderate
  beach erosion is possible.
