Beach Hazards Posted for San Diego Coast as Narda Swell Peaks

Long‑period swell from distant Hurricane Narda is sending larger sets to south‑facing beaches.

Overview

  • An official Beach Hazards Statement is active through Tuesday, warning of dangerous surf and strong rip currents along the San Diego coast.
  • Breaking waves of roughly 3 to 6 feet are expected, with the larger sets focused on south‑facing beaches where 4 to 6 feet is possible.
  • Forecasters say Monday and Tuesday offer the largest surf and best conditions for experienced surfers, with wave heights easing gradually into Thursday.
  • A deep trough will bring rain to the Pacific Northwest and Northern California, while San Diego remains largely dry with increasing onshore flow.
  • Cloudy mornings and patchy drizzle are possible Tuesday as the marine layer deepens, with breezy afternoons, below‑average highs, a slight midweek warm‑up, and another cooldown into the weekend.
