A large south swell from Hurricane Marie was set to peak Sunday and Labor Day before gradually diminishing Tuesday, resulting in light rain, high surf and strong rip and longshore currents at the majority of San Diego County beaches.
Additionally, waves will occasionally run much farther up the beach than expected, especially during increasing and high tides, forecasters said.
High surf combined with high astronomical tides of about 6.2 to 6.8 feet will lead to tidal overflow and coastal flooding through Tuesday during evening high tides, especially for south and southwest-facing beaches as well as low-lying areas, the National Weather Service said.
A coastal flood advisory and high surf advisory remain in effect until 11 p.m. Tuesday for San Diego County coastal areas.
Widespread mid to high level clouds and periods of light rain occurred Sunday across San Diego County, with warming high and low temperatures expected through the middle of next week then gradual cooling into next weekend.
High temperatures on Labor Day are expected to be 5 to 10 degrees warmer than Sunday, with less cloud coverage expected. High temperatures will continue to increase into Wednesday for areas west of the mountains and Thursday for the deserts, the NWS said.
