The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health cautions residents who are planning to visit the below Los Angeles County beaches to avoid swimming, surfing, and playing in ocean waters:
January 10, 2025
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health urges residents to avoid swimming, surfing, and playing in ocean waters at the following Los Angeles County beaches.
The Department advises beach users to avoid all water contact, especially near discharging storm drains, creeks, and rivers, due to potential debris and contamination from fires. This includes any runoff that may flow onto or pond on the beach sand. An ocean water advisory is being issued because of the uncertain amount of fire-fighting runoff, which may contain toxic chemicals and debris that have entered the ocean during fire-fighting operations.
This advisory applies to ocean and bay waters from Surfrider Beach to Dockweiler State Beach at World Way. People entering these waters could become ill. The advisory will remain in effect until three days after fire-fighting efforts end and notification is provided by the Department of Public Health.
Additional Specific Beach Area Warnings:
· Malibu Point at Surfrider Beach. Near Malibu Tower 3: 100 yards up and down the coast from Lifeguard Tower #3.
· Solstice Creek at Dan Blocker County Beach: 100 yards up and down the coast from the creek.
· Inner Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro: The entire swim area.
These warnings have been issued due to bacterial levels exceeding health standards when last tested.
