The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is extending the duration of the Ocean Water Advisory due to fire debris runoff. Ash from the Los Angeles Fires may enter coastal water through surface water runoff and windblown ash. The ash may contain substances including arsenic, other metals, and asbestos, which can be harmful to human health. The Department advises beach users to avoid all water contact from Surfrider Beach to Dockweiler State Beach at World Way.
This advisory will remain in place until lifted by the Department of Public Health.
Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24-hours a day on the County’s beach closure hotline: 1-800- 525-5662. To view the map of impacted locations and for more information, please visit: PublicHealth.LACounty.gov/Beach/.
