Ventura Countys west-facing beaches are expected to see moderate to high surf Monday through Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service. <\/p>\n
The surf will reach 4 to 6 feet with local sets up to 10 feet. The long-period swell is expected to create hazardous conditions for Ventura, Los Angeles and southern Santa Barbara counties. <\/p>\n
The high surf will likely create strong rip currents and sneaker waves that can wash people into the ocean from rocks, jetties and beaches, especially during high tide. <\/p>\n
The National Weather Services is advising beachgoers to stay near an occupied lifeguard tower and swim parallel to the shore if caught in a rip current. <\/p>\n
Low humidity levels and warm temperatures prompted the National Weather Service to warn of hazardous conditions Monday that could bring elevated fire danger to Southern California. <\/p>\n
Gusty northeast winds are expected to elevate fire danger for Ventura and Los Angeles counties Tuesday through Wednesday, with the possibility of returning later in the week. <\/p>\n
