High Surf and Gusty Winds to Persist Through Weekend

A long-period swell is producing 10 to 14 foot breakers, with forecasters warning of dangerous rip currents.

Overview

  • High Surf Advisories cover parts of California’s Central Coast from 3 a.m. Friday to 3 a.m. Monday, with some northern beaches already extended through Friday morning.
  • Widespread breezes continue with local winds near 10–15 mph and isolated gusts around 40 mph on the Central Coast, and 15–20 knot northeasterlies in South Florida with gusts to 25 knots.
  • Hazardous beach and marine conditions are expected through the weekend, including large sets and rip currents that threaten swimmers and small craft.
  • A weak, decaying cold front this weekend will increase cloud cover and deliver only a modest cool-down with limited shower chances.
  • High pressure returns next week, keeping South Florida warm and pushing some inland West Coast locations toward the 80s and 90s.
