Anyone planning to swim or surf at the southern end of Torrance Beach should check the County’s water-quality status before getting in.

Recent testing prompted Los Angeles County Public Health to issue a warning for Torrance Beach at Malaga Cove, north of the RAT lifeguard t

The advisory area extends roughly 100 yards up and down the coast from the lifeguard tower.

These warnings can be lifted or reinstated as new samples come in, which makes checking the current beach map especially important rather than relying on an advisory from several days earlier.

The County maintains updated beach conditions online and through its 24-hour beach hotline.
