Southern California Coast Braces for High Tides and Coastal Flooding From Hurricane Polo

Officials say high tides could reach 7 feet Monday and Tuesday, raising the risk of flooding, erosion and dangerous rip currents.

  • Long Beach officials closed Peninsula beaches to the public on Friday, citing threats from Hurricane Polo as powerful swells threaten the storm-battered coastal region.
  • Repairs continue following Hurricane Marie, which flooded 19 homes and eroded 60-70 feet of beach; City Manager Tom Modica noted erosion became so severe "we can't even get trucks down there."
  • National Weather Service forecasters expect southern swells to drive surf heights between 4 and 7 feet from Sunday through Tuesday, with high tides peaking around 7 feet on Monday and Tuesday.
  • To assist with property defense, the city established a sand distribution site at the Claremont Parking Lot, while officials urge residents to prepare for potentially severe winter weather associated with El Niño conditions.
  • Meteorologists warn that exact storm severity remains uncertain, though coastal flooding is forecast to persist through Wednesday as municipal emergency management offices continue monitoring swell conditions and NWS updates throughout the week.
