In addition, an Ocean Water Quality Rain Advisory until 8 a.m. on Thursday, January 30, for all Los Angeles County beaches:

-Due to recent rainfall, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (@LAPublicHealth) advises beach users to avoid all water contact due to potentially higher bacteria levels and public health hazards in these areas. Individuals who enter the water could become ill. This includes any runoff that may flow onto the beach sand.

Once the rain advisory is lifted, the ocean water advisory for Surfrider Beach to Dockweiler State Beach at World Way will remain due to fire debris runoff, which may contain substances including arsenic, other metals and asbestos, which can be harmful to health.
