It is going to be a wet day along the Southern California coast as thunderstorms, rip currents, and potential water spouts are forecast.
The National Weather Service forecasts wind gusts of 40-plus mph, and waves up to seven feet tall today through Saturday, Feb. 25. Strong rip currents and very high surf are expected as well, with a small chance for water spouts. A possible water spout was spotted in Dana Point on Thursday.In Newport Beach on Friday, lifeguards reported three-foot surf and strong rip currents.
“The bulk of the activity occurring today so far has been up north in Los Angeles and Ventura ,” said Elizabeth Schenk, a National Weather Service forecaster. “We’re going to see shower activity increase through this afternoon, and then the heaviest activity will hold off until late tonight and early tomorrow.”
The biggest impact of the weather along local beaches will be gusty winds and heavy rain with potential thunderstorms sprinkled in. The National Weather Service has a bit of advice for anyone thinking of taking a boat out today — don’t.
