High swells wash the beach
A silky northwest swell is snapping ashore along the San Diego coastline, producing waves in the 4′ to 5′ range in many areas, with sets to 6′. Waves are expected to reach 8′ later today, and will be nearly as large on Sunday, says Surfline.com.
The swell has led to a high surf advisory from the National Weather Service. Waves will be smaller in north county. But the swell will produce strong rip currents along the entire coastline. Ocean temperatures are in the 54-56 degree range.
