LOS ANGELES (KABC) — High surf advisories are in effect up and down the Southern California coast through the weekend, and officials are warning people to stay out of the treacherous waters.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts elevated surf and “King Tide” conditions through Friday.
A high surf advisory issued by the National Weather Service will be in effect until 3 a.m. Saturday for Los Angeles and Ventura County beaches. A coastal flood advisory will be in effect until Friday afternoon.
Large 8-foot waves are expected in L.A. County while 12-foot waves are possible in Ventura County.
Residents living along the coast are urged to keep an eye out for flooding in the morning hours, specifically between 6 a.m. and noon.
The areas that are most likely to be impacted including west-facing shores, Oceano Dunes/Pismo, Ventura, Oxnard, Zuma Beach and Marina Del Rey.
NOAA hasn’t issued a coastal flood advisory but a beach hazard statement is in place.
The Seal Beach Police Department said winter sand berm construction started Wednesday and said that the 1st Street mini-berm is already in place.
Sandbag stations in Seal Beach are stocked and available at the 8th Street Beach Lot and the OCFA Fire Station #44 (Central & 8th).
