The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has issued an advisory, urging the public to avoid water contact at all county beaches until Monday at 7:00 am, particularly near storm drains, creeks, and rivers. This is due to high bacteria levels that can be found in these waters following rainfall, posing significant health risks.
An ongoing ocean water closure is in place from Las Flores State Beach to Santa Monica State Beach, restricting all water access. Additional advisories stretch from Surfrider Beach to Las Flores State Beach, and from Santa Monica State Beach to Dockweiler State Beach at World Way, remaining until further evaluation and notice.
For those looking for real-time updates on beach conditions, Los Angeles County offers a 24-hour beach closure hotline at 1-800-525-5662. More detailed information, including maps showing the specific impacted areas, can be found on the Department of Public Health's website. Residents and tourists alike can call (626) 430-5360 for any further inquiries or clarifications on the status of beach water quality.
