High surf generated by a long-period swell pounded the Southern California coast today.
As the swell builds, high surf was expected along southwest- and west- facing beaches, along with powerful rip currents, long-shore currents, sneaker waves and minor beach erosion, said the National Weather Service.
A high surf advisory will be in effect from the Los Angeles to the San Diego coasts until 4 p.m. Tuesday.
