The NWS San Diego CA released an updated beach hazards statement at 9:33 p.m. on Friday valid from Saturday 2 a.m. until Monday 8 p.m. for San Diego County Coastal Areas and Orange County Coastal.

The NWS informs, "South swell from 190 degrees with a period of 14 to 16 seconds will generate surf of 3 to 6 feet with sets up to 7 feet along south-facing beaches. High rip current risk. San Diego County Surf will be slightly lower, but hazardous swimming conditions with high rip current and longshore current risk will still exist."

"Hazardous swimming conditions with high rip current and longshore current risk. If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm and do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, SWIM PARALLEL TO SHORE and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly," explains the NWS. "Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions."

This statement is in effect until Monday at 8 p.m.
