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

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 September 07, 2022, 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

Samples taken Sept. 17 show bacteria levels continue to exceed state standards. Sampling is being done daily. This closure will remain in effect until two consecutive test results indicate that bacterial levels meet health standards.

These warnings have been issued due to bacterial levels exceeding health standards when last tested.

Recorded information on beach conditions is available 24- hours a day on the County’s beach closure hotline: 1-800- 525-5662. To view map of impacted locations and for more information visit: PublicHealth.LACounty.gov/Beach/.
