Strong winds are driving a large, northwesterly swell, which is prompting dangerous waves.
Beachgoers visiting San Luis Obispo County beaches and Santa Barbara County central coast beaches are urged to remain out of the ocean through Friday because of dangerous waves.The National Weather Service office in Los Angeles issued a high surf advisory for the beaches in the early morning hours on Friday. The advisory will remain in place until 3 a.m. Saturday local time.'Large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet for northwest facing beaches with dangerous rip currents,' the advisory said.
The winds from the swell aren't expected to be strong enough to cause damage, but more winds arriving in Southern California this weekend could have stronger impacts.A storm system bringing snow to high-elevation areas across California on Friday will be moving into the Southern California region accompanied by strong winds and will likely begin affecting the region on Saturday. The same system threatens to bring up to 3 feet of snow to mountainous areas across the Pacific Northwest.
