* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to

elevated surf expected. Surf heights around 5 feet in

southerly swell with 15 to 17 second wave periods.

* WHERE...Ventura County Beaches, Malibu Coast and Los Angeles

County Beaches.

* WHEN...Through Sunday evening.

* IMPACTS...There is an increased risk of ocean drowning. Rip

currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can

wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats

nearshore.

Remain out of the water due to hazardous swimming conditions, or

stay near occupied lifeguard towers. Rock jetties can be deadly

in such conditions, stay off the rocks.
