Flight.News
A Beach Hazards Statement remains in effect for Los Angeles County beaches through Monday morning. Dangerous rip currents, elevated surf, and minor tidal overflows create a heightened drowning risk and can capsize small boats or wash people off beaches and rocks. Impacts from a westerly swell will likely peak Saturday, causing potential beach erosion and coastal flooding across Los Angeles.
