• High surf expected along San Diego County coasts (sandiegocountynews.com) — Powerful surf and hazardous rip currents are pounding Oceanside and other San Diego County beaches, with waves up to 10 feet and minor coastal flooding possible through Tuesday night. Residents and visitors are urged to avoid dangerous waters, watch for flooded parking areas and roads, and take precautions if they live in flood-prone spots, as conditions can change quickly.

• San Clemente Rail Line Closed After Rainfall, High Surf Hit Orange County Coast (voiceofoc.org) — Train service between Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and Oceanside is suspended while crews stabilize storm-damaged tracks in San Clemente, with buses shuttling passengers between Irvine and Oceanside. The closure, driven by high surf and erosion, highlights ongoing regional struggles to protect the coastal rail line and San Clemente's shrinking beaches, including a proposed local sales tax to fund sand and shoreline projects.
