MALIBU—On Monday, March 16, the city of Malibu posted on its Facebook page that dangerous beach conditions are expected now through Wednesday, March 18 in the evening, as a Beach Hazards Statement from the National Weather Service remains in effect for the Malibu Coast due to elevated surf creating dangerous rip currents and breaking waves.

These conditions increase the risk of ocean drowning. Rip currents can quickly pull swimmers and surfers out to sea, and powerful waves can wash people off beaches and rocks or even capsize small boats near shore.

Officials advise staying out of the water due to hazardous conditions or remaining close to occupied lifeguard towers.
