The waves aren't massive along the San Diego County coastline. But the National Weather Service says they're hitting fast enough to produce potentially dangerous rip currents. Inexperienced swimmers and surfers should only enter the water in front of lifeguard towers that are staffed. Today's waves are mostly in the 1' to 3' range. But waves will rise to 4' or higher in some areas, producing currents that can knock small people down, and disorient adults who get in a current.
Ocean temperatures are in the 60-64 degree range. Air temperatures along the coast are in the 60s, and skies are mostly clear. But the weather service says that daytime highs will be 5-10 degrees below normal across the county for the rest of the week.
