Category 5 Hurricane Polo Could Send Rain, Dangerous Surf To Battered SoCal
- Hurricane Polo, a powerful Category 5 storm off Mexico, is expected to send large southerly swells toward Southern California starting Sunday, though the National Weather Service says the storm will not make landfall.
- Coastal communities like Laguna Beach and Dana Point remain vulnerable after Hurricane Marie's swells caused significant erosion earlier this month, leaving many oceanfront properties yellow-tagged from structural damage.
- Forecasters predict surf height will peak Monday with sets up to 12 feet at Newport Beach's Wedge; officials advise swimmers caught in rip currents to stay parallel to the shore until free.
- Newport Beach Lifeguard Chief Brian O'Rourke said the city has reinforced sand berms and prepared pumps, noting that high tides and swells threaten low-lying streets and parking lots Monday and Tuesday.
- Surfline forecaster Kevin Wallis called the storm's path a "tricky track," while researchers monitor Kelvin waves that can raise sea levels and compound coastal vulnerability early next week.
