Forecasters warned beachgoers to use caution along the coast of Los Angeles and Orange counties as elevated surf, dangerous rip currents and high tides continue to affect the region Tuesday.
A beach hazards statement issued by the National Weather Service will remain in effect through late Wednesday night for Los Angeles County beaches, where breaking waves of 3 to 6 feet and hazardous swimming conditions are expected. The weather service warned that rip currents could pull swimmers and surfers out to sea, while waves could wash people off beaches and rocks and capsize small boats near shore.
Minor coastal flooding remains possible in low-lying areas during periods of high tide, particularly along vulnerable stretches of coastline, forecasters said. A coastal flood advisory will be in effect for the Malibu coast through Wednesday morning due to the potential for seawater flooding in areas such as beaches, parking lots and walkways. Video from overnight shows the waves crashing over a ledge near homes along the shoreline in Long Beach.
More reinforcements were brought in to try and prevent flood damage.
