SEAL BEACH, CA — Seal Beach residents can expect big waves this weekend, after the National Weather Service issued a Beach Hazards Statement for the Orange County coast Friday.

Residents will likely see four- to seven-foot waves generated from an incoming west-northwest swell, the service said. The highest surf is expected as west-facing beaches, especially in San Diego County.

The Beach Hazards Statement is in effect from Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon, the service said.
