Southern California generally enjoys mild winters However, when storm clouds gather as they often do this time of year, Southern California storms can be dangerous for boaters. Boat owners should be “storm-ready” all winter and even into the spring.
Remember that the California State Parks Division of Boating and Waterways monitors stormy winter weather and posts safety information on various social media, as well as news outlets around the area.
Southern California spring and winter storms can bring fast moving and elevated water, which in turn can contain all sorts of debris and possibly damage your boat or dock.
