NWS Issues Beach Hazard Alerts From Great Lakes to Southern California

Hazards stem from onshore winds on the lakes alongside Hurricane Narda swells in Southern California, with dangerous conditions expected through Wednesday.

Overview

  • Advisories are active for shorelines in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and New York across Lakes Superior, Huron, Erie and Ontario.
  • Great Lakes beaches face waves up to about 6 feet with life-threatening rip and longshore currents, and the NWS urges people not to enter the water.
  • The Cleveland office said the current Great Lakes alerts are likely the last beach-hazard statements of the season.
  • Southern California beaches face 3 to 5 foot surf with sets up to 6 feet on south to southwest-facing shores due to Hurricane Narda swells.
  • Lifeguards report heavy rescue activity, including more than 80 rescues in Newport Beach, and officials urge staying off piers and following lifeguard directions.
