Beach Hazard Statement
Issued: 9:14 AM Sep. 29, 2025 – National Weather Service
...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING... * WHAT...Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves due to elevated surf expected on south-facing beaches. Surf of 3 to 6 feet with sets up to 8 feet in Orange County. * WHERE...San Diego County Coastal Areas and Orange County Coastal Areas. * WHEN...Through late Tuesday evening. * IMPACTS...Strong rip currents and longshore currents for all beaches will create hazardous swimming conditions. Rip currents can pull swimmers and surfers out to sea. Waves can wash people off beaches and rocks, and capsize small boats nearshore. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The elevated surf is driven by a southwesterly swell (190 degrees) at 4-5 feet with a period of 12-14 seconds. Both swell and surf will gradually lower Tuesday. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A beach hazards statement for elevated surf means that waves will be high enough to cause danger to inexperienced swimmers in the water. Elevated surf also frequently results in strong rip currents which can drag people away from the shore and possibly result in drowning. Always swim near a lifeguard. &&
