Storm Creates Huge Waves and Dangerous Currents at Southern California Beaches
Meteorologists warned that 6- to 10-foot waves and strong rip currents could last through Tuesday, with coastal flooding also possible along vulnerable beaches.
- Powerful surf from Hurricane Marie's remnants inundated Southern California beaches yesterday, flooding parking lots near Seal Beach Pier and prompting the city to close two beachfront lots until Wednesday to protect life and property.
- Though Marie remains roughly 700 miles offshore, its enormous wind field generated hazardous south swells and life-threatening rip currents along the coastline, affecting holiday crowds despite the storm staying well out to sea.
- Newport Beach lifeguards performed 177 rescues on Saturday alone, while municipal crews spent $20,000 to fortify sand berms near Seal Beach Pier in four days, accelerating typical two-week construction timelines.
- High surf and coastal flood advisories remain in effect through 11 p.m. Tuesday, with the National Weather Service urging beachgoers to swim near lifeguards and avoid rock jetties amid dangerous conditions.
- As the storm dissipates, temperatures across the Southland will soar into the 90s beginning Monday, peaking Tuesday through Thursday with triple-digit highs in warmer areas before declining next weekend.
