Ocean water advisory in effect for all LA County beaches
A water warning has been issued for all Los Angeles County beaches through Monday because of the rainfall.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health advises beach users to avoid all water contact, especially near storm drains, creeks, and rivers due to possible higher bacteria levels in these areas.
Ocean and bay recreational waters, especially near storm drains, creeks and rivers can be contaminated with bacteria, chemicals, debris, trash, and other public health hazards from city streets and mountain areas after rainfall.
Public health officials warn that people who go in the water in these areas could become ill.
Rain advisories remain in effect for 72 hours after the rainfall ends. The ocean water quality rain advisory will be in effect until 10:00 a.m. Monday, but depending on rainfall amounts, it could be extended.
Fire-impacted areas
The ocean water closure from Las Flores State Beach to Santa Monica State Beach remains in effect until further notice.
Once the rain advisory is lifted, the ocean water advisory from Surfrider Beach to Las Flores State Beach and from Santa Monica State Beach to Dockweiler State Beach at World Way will remain until further notice.
