A high surf advisory has been issued for Catalina/Santa Barbara Islands, Malibu, and Los Angeles County Beaches by the National Weather Service. The advisory, in effect until Saturday morning, warns of large breaking waves reaching 6 to 9 feet, with sets up to 10 feet, and dangerous rip currents. The NWS urges caution, as there is an increased risk of ocean drowning due to strong rip currents that can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Additionally, large waves can cause injury, wash people off beaches, and capsize small boats near shore. The NWS advises staying out of the water and near lifeguard towers during this time, as rock jetties can be particularly dangerous. It is important to heed these warnings and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during the high surf advisory period.
