The storm's effects are expected to impact beachgoers, coastal residents, and drivers in Southern California. High surf and rip currents pose life-threatening risks to swimmers, while coastal flooding could affect low-lying areas such as Avalon, Long Beach, Point Mugu, and Malibu. Roads may become slick due to light rainfall mixing with accumulated oils, increasing the risk of accidents. The National Weather Service has urged caution for those venturing near the coast or driving during the wet conditions.
