Live Music on the Avenue and Weekend Shoreline Notes
Seal Beach, CA · August 28, 2026
The weekend is officially within reach, and you will feel the late-summer warmth the moment you step outside. Grab an iced coffee and settle in for a lively Friday ahead.
The Lead
With water temperatures hovering in the mid-seventies this week, local marine safety officers are reminding swimmers and waders to take extra care along the shoreline. Warm late-August currents have brought increased stingray activity into the shallow flats flanking the pier, leading lifeguards to step up their standard beachside advisories.
Swimmers heading out into the surf are urged to shuffle their feet along the bottom to alert resting rays rather than taking full steps down. The lifeguard headquarters keeps heated soaking tubs ready at the base of the pier for anyone who catches a barb. Stop by an active lifeguard tower for current surf conditions before wading out this weekend.
