The Los Angeles County Lifeguards call this the black ball flag. You will see this flag posted under the American flag at the lifeguard towers when conditions require it. This flag lets surfers and other beach patrons know that the area around the lifeguard tower is for swimming and body boarding only. The swim area boundaries will be set by crossed orange flags.
