A high surf advisory has been issued for the Malibu Coast and Los Angeles for Sunday.
Los Angeles, CA, October 10, 2026 — A high surf advisory has been issued for the Malibu Coast and extending into the Los Angeles area, effective for Sunday. Residents and visitors are advised to be aware of the potential for elevated wave activity.
The advisory indicates that dangerous swimming conditions are expected. Large, powerful surf may create hazardous rip currents, which can carry even strong swimmers out to sea. Ocean swells are anticipated to be significantly higher than normal, presenting increased risks for those entering the water.
Officials are urging beachgoers to exercise extreme caution. Lifeguards will likely be on heightened alert, but the public is strongly encouraged to heed all posted warnings and obey instructions from safety personnel. Strong undertows are a particular concern, making unsupervised swimming ill-advised.
The specific details regarding the exact height of the expected surf and the precise duration of the advisory beyond Sunday were not provided in the initial announcement. Visitors planning activities along the coast are recommended to check local weather and marine advisories for the most current information and safety guidance.
The Malibu Coast and Los Angeles coastlines are popular destinations, and authorities are emphasizing that complacency in the face of strong ocean conditions can lead to serious accidents. The advisory serves as a preemptive alert to ensure public safety as potentially hazardous marine conditions approach.
