Los Angeles Beaches Under Coastal Flood Advisory: Sunday Morning High Tide Near 8 Feet, NWS Warns of Worst Flooding This Season
The National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory for Los Angeles County beaches through Tuesday; Sunday morning's high tide is expected near 8 feet, close to recent records, with damaging sea-water flooding possible on vulnerable south-facing beaches and 5–8 foot surf.
Why it matters
The National Weather Service office in Los Angeles says Sunday morning's sea-water flooding on vulnerable south-facing beaches could be the most significant so far this season. Residents should stay off beaches, walkways and rock jetties today and avoid driving through floodwater.
Full report
The National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory for Malibu and Los Angeles County beaches on Saturday afternoon, in effect from Sunday 3 p.m. through Tuesday (Oct. 13) at 2 p.m.; a high surf advisory is also in effect Sunday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The NWS expects Sunday morning's high tide to reach about 8 feet, nearly 2 feet above the astronomical high tide of 6.1 feet, approaching or exceeding recent record tide levels for Los Angeles County. Monday and Tuesday morning high tides are expected near 7.5 feet.
Vulnerable south-facing beaches — including the Alamitos Peninsula and Naples in Long Beach, Malibu, and Venice — could see damaging sea-water flooding around high tide, harming beach roads and structures; low-lying roads may pond with water and become difficult to drive. All other beaches face minor to moderate flooding, with 5–8 foot surf, significant erosion and dangerous rip currents countywide through Tuesday.
The NWS advises: follow directions from emergency officials; stay off beaches, coastal walkways, roads and rock jetties; do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth; if in the water, stay near occupied lifeguard towers.
