Ocean Water Closure and Advisory in Fire Impacted Areas Remain - All Other LA County Ocean Waters Advisories Lifted 01/30/2025
Due to the increase in fire debris along these ocean waters, the Ocean Water Closure for Las Flores State Beach to Santa Monica State Beach remains in place, as fire debris runoff and pollutants in the water may contain toxic or carcinogenic chemicals. Beach users should avoid water and stay away from fire debris or heavy ash on the sand.
Exact locations of the closure can be viewed on the interactive map below.
The ocean water advisory for Surfrider Beach to Las Flores State Beach and Santa Monica State Beach to Dockweiler State Beach at World Way remains in effect due to fire debris runoff, which may also flow onto or pond on the beach sand. Beach users are also advised to stay away from any fire debris on the beach.
The closure and advisory due to fire related impacts will remain in effect until further notice.
The rain advisory for all other LA County ocean waters has been lifted.
Maintenance crews from the Department of Beaches and Harbors are removing and disposing of the large pieces of charred debris that wash up onto the sand. Additionally, DBH is working with its partners to address ongoing concerns about fire-related runoff from winter storms.
