Surfers could see 10 to 12 foot sets Monday and Tuesday morning south of Del Mar, warns a High Surf Advisory in place for the start of the week.
The advisory, in effect 6 a.m. Monday to 6 p.m. Tuesday, warns the surf may reach 6 to 9 feet with even larger sets south of Del Mar and north of Newport Beach. Elsewhere, surf is expected to reach 3 to 6 feet.
That means waves could come crashing over jetties and sea walls. There may be a chance for minor sea erosion as well and minor coastal flooding, particularily during high tide.
During the advisory, expect "very strong" rip currents and high surf, the combination of which will create dangerous surfing conditions.
Tides will reach six feet come 6:15 a.m. Monday, according to the advisorty, and 6.14 feet at approximately 6:43 a.m. Tuesday. Low tide will reach 1.1 feet around 1:15 p.m. Monday and 0.8 feet at 1:48 p.m. Tuesday.
By Wednesday, beachgoers can expect to see a much lower surf. A larger Northwest swell is expected to peak Friday, which could bring "very large and potentially damaging surf," the advisory warns.
