Beach Hazards Statement issued June 12 at 2:20PM PDT until June 15 at 8:00PM PDT by NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard CA

Effective: Fri June 12, 2026, 2:20 PM
Expires: Sat June 13, 2026, 12:30 PM

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf of 3 to 6 feet on south-facing beaches expected. In addition, high astronomical tides of 7.5 to 7.9 feet are expected each evening through Monday. * WHERE...Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast, Los Angeles County Beaches, and Southern Santa Barbara County Beaches. * WHEN...From Saturday morning through Monday evening. * IMPACTS...There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats nearshore. Minor coastal flooding are possible in low-lying areas near the times of high tides.

Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly in such conditions, stay off the rocks.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
