The hazardous conditions are particularly dangerous for swimmers, surfers, and small watercraft operators. Even experienced swimmers face a high risk of drowning due to strong rip currents. Breaking waves may sweep individuals off jetties and docks, while minor coastal flooding could affect parking lots, parks, and roads. Lifeguards in Los Angeles County have already conducted nearly 2,000 rescues in the past week, highlighting the severity of the situation. Localized beach erosion is also a concern.
