IN THE NEWS

MALIBU AND SANTA MONICA BEACHES TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO RUNOFF

Due to recent rains and the transportation of fire debris to the coast, the ocean waters from Malibu to Santa Monica are currently off-limits. This closure, mandated by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, extends from Las Flores State Beach in Malibu to Santa Monica State Beach. ⁠

The county has warned that “fire debris runoff and pollutants in the water and on the sand may contain toxic or carcinogenic chemicals.” This closure will remain in effect until further notice.⁠

An Ocean Water Quality Rain Advisory is also in place for all beaches in Los Angeles County, lasting until 8 a.m. on Thursday, following the rainstorms earlier this week which introduced potentially harmful bacteria to the coastal areas.⁠

Additionally, a separate Water Quality Advisory will continue past Thursday due to the ongoing risk of fire debris entering the ocean. This advisory affects beaches from Surfrider Beach to Las Flores State Beach in Malibu and from Santa Monica State Beach to Dockweiler State Beach at World Way in Playa del Rey.
