Beach Warning: Rip Currents, Big Surf Through Wednesday

The heavy surf should continue through mid-day Wednesday

A high surf advisory was in effect Tuesday in Imperial Beach and to the north to Point Loma, stretching up to Oceanside.

The National Weather Service issued the advisory from 2 this morning to 2 p.m. Wednesday, saying beach-goers could expect to see frequent 5- to 8-foot waves and in less frequent instances, surf over 8 feet.

“The large set waves will be infrequent, but wash well up the beach and over most jetties,” an NWS advisory said.
