Beach Hazards Statement

Warming Through Midweek

The Beach Hazards Statement for Pacific Coast beaches has been extended to now go through Wednesday afternoon. Long-period S-SW swell will continue to generate hazardous conditions at the beach, including sneaker waves and strong rip currents. Stay back from the water’s edge, stay off of jetties and piers, and NEVER turn your back on the ocean.

As temperatures warm up through midweek, areas away from the coast will see highs climbing 10 to 15 degrees higher than today, with some inland spots reaching the lower 90s by Wednesday. Coastal locations will be cooler, mostly topping out in the lower 70s. Minor to moderate heat risks will accompany the temperatures, especially away from the coast. Remember to stay hydrated if spending time outdoors!
