Cold Weather, High Surf Expected In Malibu

MALIBU, CA — Malibu residents can expect cold overnight temperatures and high surf throughout the week.

Much of Los Angeles County will see cold weather conditions throughout the week, especially on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. The Coasts and valleys will reach temperatures as low as 28 degrees, with the mountains and deserts reaching as low as 10 degrees. Wind chill on Tuesday will be between -10 and 10 degrees, according to the National Weather Service for Los Angeles and Oxnard.

Malibu will see overnight temperatures as low as 38 degrees on Wednesday, with highs in the high 50s and low 60s all week, according to Accuweather. NWS issued a wind advisory for Malibu from Monday to Tuesday night.

“The cold temperatures may be harmful to exposed people, pets, and plants including possible crop damage,” NWS said.

Gusty winds will create more hazardous conditions, with gusts between 40 and 60 miles per hour in the coasts and valleys, and winds between 50 and 70 miles per hour in the mountains and deserts, according to NWS.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles County beaches can expect high surf between seven and 10 feet and dangerous rip currents, according to NWS. West-facing beaches will see the highest surf, NWS said. Neighboring Ventura County will see surf between eight to 14 feet. Widespread winds will also create choppy sea conditions for boats, NWS said.

“High surf will create strong rip currents, so swimmers and beach goers are urged to use caution as these conditions will be particularly hazardous,” NWS said.

Boaters are advised to seek safe harbors and beach goers are advised to use caution.
