Hurricanes Polo and Odalys to Send Powerful Waves to Southern California Coast
Two active hurricanes off Baja California are forecast to generate strong surf conditions along Southern California’s shores, compounding impacts from recent storm systems.
Hurricanes Polo and Odalys are predicted to generate significant surf along the Southern California coast, the National Weather Service says. Polo, located about 1,100 nautical miles southeast of Los Angeles, and Odalys, roughly 900 nautical miles southwest of Los Angeles, are both expected to send powerful waves ashore.
These systems will add to already heightened coastal erosion and flooding risks in the region, which has recently experienced multiple storm events. The incoming swells are anticipated to increase surf heights, potentially leading to coastal flooding and hazardous rip currents.
