High Surf Advisory Remains In Effect For OC, SD Coastlines

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A high surf advisory remained in effect Sunday for Orange County and San Diego coastlines.

The advisory, which is set to expire at 6 p.m. Monday, forecasts surf heights of 5 to 8 feet with occasional higher sets for Sunday.

The big waves brought dozens of surfers and scores of spectators to Newport Beach on Saturday where a big swell out of the south was producing waves of up to 20 feet.

Most breakers rolled in at 8 to 12 feet.

Elsewhere, along the Orange County coast, the surf was in the 5- to 8-foot range.

No serious injuries were reported though lifeguards made dozens of rescues.

Along the Los Angeles County coastline, forecasters predict the surf breaking at 3 to 5 feet with some sets up to 7 feet on south-facing beaches.

Meteorologist Kaj Goldberg, reporting for CBS2 and KCAL9, says a ridge of high pressure is expected to continue to back into the Southland, bringing with it more summer-like heat by Friday.
