Strong surf conditions are prompting several Southern California piers to close temporarily this weekend. The City of Manhattan Beach announced that the Manhattan Beach Pier will remain closed “until further notice,” and the City of Hermosa Beach issued a similar closure for the Hermosa Beach Pier on Saturday morning.

Ventura pier also shut

According to the Ventura Police Department, the Ventura Pier was closed Friday night and is not expected to reopen until 3 p.m. Tuesday. Officials have urged visitors to stay away from the areas near all three piers while conditions persist.

Advisories in effect

A high‑surf advisory remains active for Los Angeles and Ventura counties until 3 p.m. Tuesday, with forecasted breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet on west‑ to northwest‑facing beaches. In Orange County, the high‑surf advisory is set to expire at 10 a.m. Sunday.

A coastal‑flood advisory is also in place across the three counties until 4 p.m. Saturday, warning of moderate flooding in low‑lying coastal areas around high tide. Beach parking lots, bike paths and harbor walkways could be affected.

Weather outlook

The large waves are being driven by a storm that moved through the region Friday night. While mostly sunny skies are expected this weekend, forecasters note another storm system is on the way. “There will be a break this weekend, with the next round set for around Monday, then the next around Thursday,” they said.

The Monday system could bring light rain, followed by another chance of rain Wednesday or Thursday. Both systems are currently expected to be weaker than the storms that have already impacted the coast.

Public‑health reminder

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health’s ocean water‑quality rain advisory remains in effect through at least 8 a.m. Monday. Beachgoers are urged to avoid water contact, especially near storm drains, creeks and rivers, due to potentially elevated bacteria levels after rainfall.
