When Southern Californians are in the Labor Day weekend heat wave, forecasters warn that an escape valve – beach – It may be dangerous.

Swimmers can be pulled into the sea by the current, and the Weather Service recommends that those visiting the beach stay near the lifeguard tower or avoid water altogether. The Weather Bureau warned that high waves can also wash people off beaches and rocks.
“It’s a holiday weekend, and it’s something we want to get attention,” said Bryan Lewis, a meteorologist at Oxnard. “I’m sure a lot of people will escape the heat and head to the beach.”
