Storm Creates Huge Waves and Dangerous Currents at Southern California Beaches

Lifeguards reported 177 rescues in Newport Beach as officials warned that 10-foot surf and dangerous rip currents could last for days.

  • On Monday, remnants of Hurricane Marie continued generating dangerous high surf and rip currents along the Southern California coast, with coastal flood advisories remaining in effect through Tuesday night.
  • While Hurricane Marie remains well offshore, its powerful southeast-to-south swells inundated parking lots near the Seal Beach Pier, prompting crews to deploy emergency berm reinforcement and water-pumping operations.
  • Newport Beach lifeguards performed 177 rescues on Saturday alone, with Los Angeles County lifeguards anticipating over 1,000 water rescues throughout the holiday weekend.
  • Seal Beach officials closed the 8th Street and 10th Street parking lots until Wednesday to protect property, while cleanup crews continued pumping water from homes and streets.
  • Forecasters expect the storm's influence to wane as the Southland transitions to a heat wave, with triple-digit temperatures likely in warmer areas from Tuesday through Thursday.
