More high surf
High surf is back for Southern California beaches. L.A. County could see waves between 4 and 6 feet over the next couple of days, according to the National Weather Service.
Ventura County could see even higher swells with seven to 11-foot surf. Further north, the Central Coast is looking at up to 20-foot waves. Those areas are under a high surf advisory at least through the weekend, but it could be extended with more large swells potentially moving in Monday.
It's best to enjoy the ocean from a distance, and that means staying off the beaches and jetties.
