WHAT: Large breaking waves of 5 to 8 feet, with sets to 10 feet
at west-facing beaches.

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

WHEN: From 10 AM Friday to 6 AM PST Sunday.

IMPACTS: Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and
localized beach erosion. High rip current risk. Minor tidal
overflow into parking lots also possible.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Rip currents are powerful channels of
water flowing quickly away from shore...which occur most often
at low spots or breaks in the sandbar and in the vicinity of
structures such as groins...jetties and piers. Heed the advice
of lifeguards...beach patrol flags and signs.

If you become caught in a rip current...yell for help. Remain
calm...do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for
help. If you have to swim out of a rip current...SWIM PARALLEL TO
SHORE and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to
swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly..
