San Diego County Coastal Areas-Orange County Coastal Areas-
213 AM PDT Mon Sep 29 2025

...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY
EVENING...

* WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated
  surf expected on south-facing beaches. Surf of 3 to 6 feet with
  sets up to 8 feet in Orange County.

* WHERE...San Diego County Coastal Areas and Orange County
  Coastal Areas.

* WHEN...Through late Tuesday evening.

* IMPACTS...Strong rip currents and longshore currents for all
  beaches will create hazardous swimming conditions. Rip
  currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can
  wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats
  nearshore.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The elevated surf is driven by a
  southwesterly swell (190 degrees) at 4-5 feet with a period of
  12-14 seconds. Both swell and surf will gradually lower
  Tuesday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A beach hazards statement for elevated surf means that waves will
be high enough to cause danger to inexperienced swimmers in the
water. Elevated surf also frequently results in strong rip
currents which can drag people away from the shore and possibly
result in drowning. Always swim near a lifeguard.
