Coastal Flood Advisory for Los Angeles Beaches
US · Published Nov 9, 2026
• The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a coastal flood advisory for Los Angeles County beaches, including Catalina and Santa Barbara Islands, as well as Malibu.
• The advisory, issued on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 12:52 p.m.

Impact & Risks

The advisory highlights an increased risk of ocean drowning due to dangerous rip currents and breaking waves. Swimmers and surfers may be pulled out to sea, and waves could wash people off beaches and rocks or capsize small boats nearshore. Pooling of seawater is possible around high tide in beach and harbor areas, which could lead to localized flooding. Enhanced beach erosion is also a concern. Residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution, as these conditions may pose risks to life and property.
