About those warnings
The National Weather Service is warning of dangerous rip currents and breaking waves between 3 to 6 feet at L.A. and Ventura County beaches.
This will last until this evening. Swimmers should take precautions since strong rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea.
“What if I'm caught in a rip current?” Stay calm and relax. Float to conserve energy. Rip currents don't pull you under. Don't swim against the current.
