High Surf, Strong Rip Currents To Continue Along San Diego County Coastline
The National Weather Service predicted 6- to 9-foot surf with sets of up to 11 feet north of Oceanside and 5- to 8-foot surf between Point Loma and La Jolla until a high surf advisory expires at 11 p.m.
The high surf and strong rip currents affecting the San Diego County coastline are expected to continue throughout the majority of the day, but will start to subside late Tuesday night.
The National Weather Service predicted 6- to 9-foot surf with sets of up to 11 feet north of Oceanside and 5- to 8-foot surf between Point Loma and La Jolla until a high surf advisory expires at 11 p.m.
Powerful rip and longshore currents are likely, as well as beach erosion and minor flooding, forecasters said.
Forecasters warned that the waves may be powerful enough to sweep those close to the water off their feet, and rip currents would cause dangerous swimming conditions.
The weather service discouraged swimmers from entering the water.
