Los Angeles County health officials warned beachgoers to avoid entering the water at several locations due to elevated bacteria levels amid a heat wave.
Recent water samples showed bacteria levels exceeding state health standards, increasing the risk of illness for swimmers, surfers, and others entering the water.
Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24 hours a day on the county’s beach closure hotline, 1-800-525-5662.
