High surf and strong rip currents are expected to hit San Diego’s beaches this weekend.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a Beach Hazard Statement for San Diego’s beaches Friday, saying waves ranging from six to up to 10 feet will likely roll in over the weekend, coupled with powerful rip currents.
This could make for dangerous swimming conditions at our coastline. Those who visit local beaches are advised to heed all posted warning signs and swim close to lifeguard towers. Inexperienced swimmers should stay out of the water and, instead, enjoy our sunny, sandy shores. If you’re caught in a rip current, the best thing to do is swim parallel to the coast before attempting to head back onto the beach.
The NWS’ Beach Hazard Statement remains in effect through Sunday evening.
