Beach hazards and high tides hit San Diego County's coast through Tuesday night
The SDtoday team
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.
