High surf advisory for Southern California beaches

[pscot]

A High Surf Advisory is in effect for Los Angeles, where waves of 10 - 15 feet will potentially cause structural damage to piers and beachside property as well as significant beach erosion. The powerful surf will be accompanied by strong rip currents and long-shore currents, making for very hazardous swimming and surfing conditions. According to NWS in San Diego, (hurricane) Marie's ascension to Category 4 status on August 24 is the earliest in the year the Eastern Pacific has seen its 5th major hurricane since reliable records began in 1949
