Dangerous waves and flooding threaten Southern California coast

Residents and beachgoers are being warned about the dangers of a massive swell that is pounding the Southern California coastline Thursday and will continue to peak into the weekend. The high surf and flooding dangers are of particular concern in Ventura County and at Hermosa, Manhattan and Palos Verdes beaches in Los Angeles County, according to the National Weather Service.
Waves of 10 to 15 feet with sets to 20 feet are expected along the Ventura County coast. A high surf warning and coastal flood warning are in effect from 4 a.m. Thursday to 10 p.m. Saturday. “Most dangerous conditions are expected later today (Thursday),” KTLA’s Omar Lewis said.
KTLA's Mary Beth McDade and Vera Jimenez report on Dec. 28, 2023.

    Aloha from Waikiki, the N shore on Oahu has some big winter swells now. I've seen 50' waves many times. Listen to the life guards and warnings. If a local surfer is not surfing its probably a good idea not to go. Most rip tides are easy to spot and avoid. When you 1st get to the beach,step back and watch the waves,the sets and swells. Do be in a hurry to die! If one shore or beach is bad,go to another or in my case other side of island! Be safe everyone! Mahalo 🤙
