A high surf advisory is in effect Tuesday for San Diego County beaches, but the waves of up to 10 feet will be lower than on Monday.

A National Weather Service advisory is in effect until 4 p.m. The agency is forecasting 6 to 8-foot surf with occasional sets of 10 feet were possible through the morning, with surf diminishing in the afternoon.

Tuesday’s highest surf will be found along west-facing beaches, especially south of Del Mar, the weather service said.

During a high surf advisory, surfers and swimmers are reminded to watch out for strong rip currents and beach erosion.

Besides the high surf, the weather in the San Diego area will be partly cloudy with patchy fog in the morning. Highs will be 72 to 77 and winds will be light.
