    Southerly swell is bringing strong, dangerous rip currents & elevated to high surf, especially for Ventura & Los Angeles Co. If you get caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shoreline to escape, then swim at an angle away from the current, toward shore. #CAwx #surf
    Key Details: 
Multiple rounds of southerly swells impacting south to SW facing beaches through this week.
Long period waves with very strong rip currents and longshore currents and powerful breaking waves. The elevated surf and strong currents will lead to dangerous conditions with increased ocean rescues needed. 
Southerly swell from Tropical Cyclone Genevieve will bring high surf to the Ventura and LA County coasts through Saturday. 
Actions:
Remain out of the water if possible.
Follow local lifeguards advice, and if swimming is advised, stay close to shore in shallower waters. Stay near lifeguards if you decide go into the water. If you get caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shoreline to escape, then swim at an angle away from the current, toward shore.  
Stay off rocks and jetties.
