Hurricane Marie Brings Rain, Flooding And Dangerous Surf To SoCal
Rainfall and large swells generated by Hurricane Marie impacted parts of Southern California Sunday, bringing coastal flooding, dangerous surf and strong rip currents while the storm remained well offshore.
Flooding was reported in parking lots at Seal Beach and Zuma Beach, while the National Weather Service reported water flowing into streets and homes in portions of Long Beach.
Rainfall totals across Los Angeles County ranged from approximately a quarter-inch to three-quarters of an inch Sunday afternoon, according to the NWS. Flood advisories were issued for portions of the county, including areas near recent burn scars.
Along the coast, forecasters warned of breaking waves reaching 6 to 10 feet at south- and southwest-facing beaches and 4 to 7 feet at west-facing beaches. Strong rip and longshore currents were also expected.
A high surf advisory and coastal flood advisory remained in effect through Tuesday night for portions of the Los Angeles and Orange county coastlines. Avalon, Long Beach’s Alamitos Peninsula and Malibu were among the areas identified as particularly vulnerable to coastal flooding as elevated surf combines with high tides.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health also issued an ocean water quality rain advisory, cautioning beachgoers to avoid water contact for at least 72 hours following rainfall.
Hurricane Marie is forecast to continue tracking northwest while remaining well off the California coast, but moisture and large swells associated with the system are expected to continue affecting Southern California.
