The Ocean Beach Pier temporarily closed Tuesday morning for “safety challenges” following high surf and tide, according to lifeguards with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
The surrounding waves could reach up to 6 feet, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
Lifeguards said the water may “come up over the pier,” but shouldn’t damage the structures.
There is also a high rip current risk, NWS said, but it should subside by Wednesday.
The closure took effect at around 10:45 a.m.
SDFD didn’t say when the pier will reopen at this time.
