Hurricane Marie to Cause Dangerously High Surf and Waves in Southern California
Aug 26, 2014 08:41 PM EDT
A high surf advisory was issued for a number of Southern California beaches on Tuesday, and warned that potential breakers of 10 to 15 feet may cause the largest -- and most dangerous -- surf seen in recent years in some areas. The large swells and strong surf creates a potential for rip currents and long shore currents, which could create life-threatening situations for beachgoers.
