Beach Advisory: 7-Foot Waves Possible In Orange County Friday

King Tides will return to the Orange County coast through Saturday. Here's what to know in Newport Beach.

NEWPORT BEACH, CA — Coastal Orange County residents will want to stay wary of the waves over the next several days, as the National Weather Service issued a Beach Hazard Advisory through Saturday morning.

Residents can expect seven-foot waves Friday and Saturday mornings as King Tides return to the Southern California coast, the National Weather Service said.

"The King Tides combined with surf of three-to-five feet will produce minor flooding of low-lying beach parking lots and beach boardwalks," the report said. "Extreme low tides of -1.8 feet each afternoon may also impact boats in harbors and affect navigation."
