What is happening on Southern California beaches right now. Official notices come from the National Weather Service, county health departments, ocean observing programs, and our own data. Community posts come from divers and swimmers who were standing there.
The wettest spot in Orange County took 0.92 in of rain in the last 3 days, Wheeler North Reef, most recently on Sunday, October 11th. County health guidance is to stay out of the ocean for 72 hours after rain, and runoff plumes near creek mouths and storm drains cut visibility hard.
