Beaches, Lifeguard Towers to Close for Holiday Weekend

Closures result of public health order

At the direction of the Department of Public Health, all Los Angeles County beaches will be closed this weekend, resulting in the closure of all lifeguard towers.

The Public Health Officer’s order closes all beaches, bike paths and beach access points in LA County from 12:01 a.m. Friday, July 3, through 5 a.m. Monday, July 6.

A new SSW/S swell will begin to show late Friday, building through the weekend with top exposures seeing surf in the 3- to 4-foot range. This swell will increase the risk and strength of rip currents along our coastline.

Because of the hazardous ocean conditions and closure of lifeguard towers, please exercise good judgement: stay out of the water and off the sand.

We hope you and your family have a safe Fourth of July, and we look forward to seeing you back at the beach on Monday.
