    Local public health officials have lifted sea water advisories placed on the beaches of Malibu and Santa Monica that were affected by the Palisades flames in time for a small heat wave that will start this weekend.

    Beachgoers are still urged to avoid any fire-related dust they encounter in the sea, despite officials ‘ determination that the water is safe for entertainment.

    The sea water advisory between Las Flores State Beach and Santa Monica State Beach was lifted, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on Wednesday.

    The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board made the decision based on water assessment and research conducted on the sea water and sand between the end of January and mid-March.

    According to authorities, both locations were tested for aluminum, vitamins, polychlorinated biphenyls, and polycyclic aromatic oils, which are all chemicals that may be present in water runoff from past California wildfires.

    According to a news release, the benefits” no substances related to fire at amounts that are dangerous to human health.”

    Beachgoers at these beaches are permitted to jump into the water and stretch their feet on the gravel. However, public health officials continue to advise people to stay away from fire particles that can be found in the ocean or on land.

    Additionally, they advise people to “avoid being on beaches on or close to burned properties, as the flames debris may have dangerous substances and natural hazards like glass, metal, and strong wooden debris.”

    It’s important to keep in mind that high tides is deposit fire dirt into the ocean, creating dangerous conditions.

    The new release states that debris from new fires has not yet been completely cleaned up in areas along the shoreline, especially near damaged or destroyed qualities on the interior side of the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). This debris can get swept into the water as the tides increase, posing a threat to those in or close to the ocean.

    On the county’s beach closure hotline, ( 800 ) 525-5662, recorded information on beach conditions is available 24 hours a day.
