Will It Rain In Manhattan Beach Today? Hour-By-Hour Forecast

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — The first rains of the season will douse the Southland Wednesday amid a possibility of thunderstorms while winter weather conditions denoting horrendous travel challenges will descend on the San Gabriel Mountains and high surf pounds the coast, threatening the safety of swimmers and surfers.

Along the coast, sets of up to 8 feet are expected on west-facing beaches Wednesday evening, continuing through Thursday morning.

"There is an increased risk for ocean drowning," warned an NWS statement. "Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Large breaking waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches and rocks and capsize small boats near shore.

"...Swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help."
