* WHAT...A long period south swell will bring elevated surf up to
6 feet for south and southwest facing beaches, along with
dangerous rip currents.

* WHERE...Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast, Los Angeles
County Beaches and Palos Verdes Hills.

* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip
currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can
wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats
nearshore.

Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or
stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly
in such conditions, stay off the rocks.
