Beach hazards and high tides hit San Diego County's coast through Tuesday night

Oct. 27 king tide, San Pedro8.2 ft
Sunday and Monday peak7.6 ft
Thanksgiving week, up to8.5 ft

If you're headed to the coast, give yourself extra time. The National Weather Service issued a beach hazards statement for San Diego County's coastal areas. It expects minor to locally moderate coastal flooding and dangerous rip currents, plus surf of 3 to 7 feet along west-facing beaches.

Late-morning high tides should peak at 7.4 to 7.6 feet Sunday and Monday, or 1.3 to 1.6 feet above astronomical tide predictions. A coastal flood advisory covers Orange and San Diego counties. That's below last week's mark: CBS Los Angeles reported the Oct. 27 king tide hit 8.2 feet at the San Pedro gauge. We'd stay off sea walls and jetties, and never drive around barricades.

  • : 4 a.m. Sunday to 10 p.m. Tuesday
  • Highest surf: 4 to 7 feet on Monday
  • Flood advisory ends: noon Tuesday, Nov. 10
  • Next : Thanksgiving week, as high as 8.4 to 8.5 feet

Coastal flood and beach hazard alerts run through Tuesday

  1. Nov. 6A coastal flood advisory took effect for Orange and San Diego counties.
  2. Nov. 8The begins at 4 a.m. for San Diego County's coast.
  3. Nov. 9Surf is forecast to be highest, at 4 to 7 feet.
  4. Nov. 10The flood advisory ends at noon and the beach hazards statement at 10 p.m.

Volunteers pulled 5,000 pounds of trash from the San Diego River ahead of El Niño

More than 100 volunteers turned out in Mission Valley on Saturday for the 's cleanup near Fashion Valley. They hauled out cups, wrappers, mattresses and shopping carts. Organizers estimate they filled a 40-yard dumpster with about 5,000 pounds. One volunteer, Juan Hueso, pulled out an air conditioning box he called "very weird and weirdly placed."

The timing matters. Sarah Hutmacher, the foundation's chief operating officer, said this stretch is "the first area that floods when we get winter rain". Mayor Todd Gloria, who also helped, said clear waterways will help with storm preparation.

  • Cleanups: every Wednesday and Saturday
  • Sign up: through the foundation's website
  • Season goal: 200,000 pounds of trash removed

124,000 poundsof trash mapped in the San Diego River riverbed

Volunteers mapped it last month. The foundation says Saturday kicked off its effort to pull as much as possible out before the rain.
