High Surf, Wind Advisory In Effect For Palos Verdes Peninsula

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CA — The National Weather Service has issued an advisory for high surf and wind for Tuesday through Wednesday at Los Angeles beaches.

Large breaking waves of 6 to 10 feet and dangerous rip currents expected from 3 a.m. Tuesday to 9 p.m. Wednesday, the NWS reports.

"Beachgoers should use caution and be mindful of rip currents and sneaker waves," according to the agency. "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."

It's expected to be mostly cloudy Monday night along the Los Angeles Coast, with lows in the 50s to lower 60s and northeast winds from 20 to 30 mph.

The forecast for LA beaches Wednesday is partly cloudy, with highs in the mid-60s to lower 70s. Wednesday night will be partly cloudy with lows in the lower to mid-50s.

A large, long-period NW swell combined with gusty NE winds will create high surf along all beaches and hazardous seas across much of the coastal waters Mon through Wed. Dangerous rip currents and large breaking waves are likely. #CAwx #SoCal pic.twitter.com/c3PUkTJe7d
