Beach Closure: Ocean Water Use Warning for Los Angeles County Beaches

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health cautions residents who are planning to visit the below Los Angeles County beach to avoid swimming, surfing, and playing in ocean waters.

BEACH CLOSURE:

On Sept. 7, Public Health issued a beach closure and posted closure signs due to sewage discharge affecting all swim areas around:

  • RAT (Right After Torrance/Redondo) Beach, located at the southernmost section of Torrance Beach

Due to the recent rainfall a rain advisory was issued for all beaches on Sept. 10 and was in effect until Sept. 13. The first eligible date for sampling to determine if bacteria levels meet health standards is Sept. 14. Public Health anticipates receiving sampling results Sept. 15. This closure will remain in effect until two consecutive test results indicate that bacterial levels meet health standards.

Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24- hours a day on the county’s beach closure hotline.
