Pacific tropical activity causing high surf and flooding

Overview

Tropical activity in the Pacific is generating dangerous ocean conditions and high surf advisories across various U.S. coastal regions during the Labor Day weekend.

In Maui, swells from Hurricane Lowell and Hurricane Karina are driving waves between 7 and 12 feet, with potential for extra-large surf exceeding warning levels. These conditions, combined with high tides, pose risks to coastal infrastructure, roadways, and harbor entrances.

In Southern California, officials in Los Angeles County and Laguna Beach have issued warnings regarding high surf, rip currents, and coastal flooding. Laguna Beach officials reported that south swells could produce surf up to 10 feet. While Hurricane Marie is not expected to make landfall, its tropical influences are projected to impact south-facing shores. Safety officials have urged residents to exercise caution, noting that Laguna Beach has already seen three fatal incidents at its beaches this summer.
