The service warned residents of the possibility of dangerous rip currents and coastal flooding.

According to the service, the waves will be the strongest along south and southwest-facing beaches.

The advisory comes just a week after a woman visiting Aliso Beach in Laguna Beach was pulled under the water while walking on the shoreline with her friends.

The woman suffered a heart attack while she was pinned by the waves.

Seal Beach residents were urged to be mindful of the waves and keep a safe distance through the Beach Hazards Advisory.
