SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. — Mother Nature is putting on quite a show here in San Diego. Big waves are expected through Wednesday night, according to the National Weather Service.
San Diego beaches could see breakers in the 5 to 7 foot range with sets to 8 feet. Beaches that face southwest are likely to see the biggest waves, NWS said.
“It’s fun when you get one. It’s a really fun ride. I definitely got pounded my fair share of times,” laughed surfer Jackson Sawa. "There's no better alarm clock than that I guess to wake up in the morning.”
Lifeguards warn the water is too rough for inexperienced swimmers and surfers. If you do get in the water, swim near a lifeguard station.
