The tsunami advisory issued along the Southern California coast on Tuesday night has expired, the National Weather Service confirmed Wednesday morning.

Both the Los Angeles and San Diego field offices for the NWS confirmed that advisories expired across the entirety of the coast in Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties. As of 6:20 a.m., advisories were still in place from the southern border of Santa Barbara County and the Humboldt and Del Norte County line.

The advisories were issued after a massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck near the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia around 4:30 p.m. Pacific. From then on, the entire West Coast of the U.S. was placed on a tsunami watch, later upgraded to an advisory. 

The advisory was also lifted in Hawaii, but not before large portions of the state were subject to evacuation orders. No major damages have been reported yet.

Back in California, the Orange County Fire Authority Urban Search & Rescue team said it stood down this morning after the event was downgraded. No significant damage, injuries or fatalities were reported.

"We are grateful the situation did not escalate and remain ready to respond wherever and whenever our assistance is needed," the statement reads.

Rocky waters remain

All beaches reopened in Los Angeles County on Wednesday morning, although officials are warning against swimming in the ocean until conditions are safer.

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass said in a post to X that lifeguards will be patrolling city beaches and informing Angelenos about current conditions.

"City departments will continue to monitor for any developments throughout the day," she said.

In an interview with CBS News Los Angeles, NWS Senior Meteorologist Todd Hall said the advisories were allowed to expire because waves in the tsunami swell dropped to below a foot. 

"If you're looking to go to the beach today, you're going to see strong rip currents," Hall said. "Probably would be best to stay out of the water today ... Even though they've dropped the advisory, we're still going to see these local impacts."

Hall said that while the advisory was dropped, some local hotspots like Ventura Harbor are still being monitored.

"When you think about [tsunamis], it's like water in a bathtub," Hall said. "It just sloshes back and forth across the Pacific [Ocean]."

Iconic event canceled

A summer staple in Orange County was canceled on Wednesday, although organizers didn't blame the tsunami advisory that expired in the morning.

The U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach canceled all surf competitions for Wednesday due to "small and inconsistent waves," according to World Surf League Tour Manager Travis Logie. The festival village on the beach remained open, but a "Lilo & Stitch" movie night was also canceled for Wednesday evening.

"The City of Huntington Beach had lifted the tsunami advisory early in the morning, so our decision was based solely on the surf conditions we had," Logie said. "We are hoping for improved conditions, and in the forecast, it says there is a slight improvement in swell size, so we're being optimistic and hoping to come back tomorrow and get our competition underway."
