Tropical Storm Elida will produce waves as high as 8-to-9 feet at some San Diego County beaches starting on Sunday, generating classic summer surf and highly dangerous rip currents, the National Weather Service says.<\/p>\n
The waves will mostly be in the 4- to 7-foot range. But forecasters say far bigger sets could hit beaches that face south or southwest, including Ocean Beach, Coronado Beach, La Jolla Shores, Windansea Beach, Big Wedge, and Tourmaline.<\/p>\n
The weather service regards rip currents like the ones that will occur Sunday through Tuesday to be potentially life-threatening, even for seasoned surfers.<\/p>\n
Sea surface temperatures are in the 70-74 degree range, which will draw a lot of people into the ocean. Beach-goers should shuffle their feet when they enter the water to avoid directly stepping on stingrays and getting stung.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tropical Storm Elida will produce waves as high as 8-to-9 feet at some San Diego County beaches starting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403699,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[7,3053,181,23,100,3054,74,84,76,75,3055,1696,19],"class_list":["post-403698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-california","tag-east-county","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-north-county","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-county","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-south-county","tag-top-stories-sdut","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
