The National Weather Service said high tides could bring minor coastal flooding to some beaches Tuesday morning. King tides could bring even more flood risk later this month.
The National Weather Service has issued a beach hazard warning for Imperial Beach, La Jolla Shores, Del Mar and Cardiff until at least noon Tuesday. Officials suggest avoiding low-lying places such as parking lots, where tides of around 6 feet could affect the area.
There’s also a storm out in the Pacific Ocean. Oswant said the swell is coming from the west, making western facing beaches the most vulnerable to flooding."The places that have the highest risk are the places that are going to see the highest surf, because that elevated surf is combining with a higher tide," she said.
Monday's San Diego surf forecast included a moderate-risk rip current, with surf height from 2 to 4 feet and a west swell from 280 degrees.In Imperial Beach on Monday morning, the city's marine safety captain, Jason Lindquist, said a strong current was pushing people dangerously close to the pier. Coastal San Diego could see some patchy clouds in the morning through the week, accompanied by sunny conditions in the afternoon with light winds and highs in the mid-60s.
