The big waves and strong rip currents that churned off the San Diego County coast over the weekend will continue through most of the day Monday.
A National Weather Service beach hazards statement in in effect through Monday evening. Forecasters said 4- to 6-foot surf with occasional sets to 7 feet were expected.
The surf and strong rip currents could lead to dangerous conditions, according to the weather service.
Swimmers and surfers who become caught in a rip current should try to relax and float instead of struggling against the current. If possible, swim parallel to the shore until in calmer waters, or if unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help, according to the weather service.
