A High Surf Advisory will be in effect from Saturday night through Wednesday morning due to large breaking waves ranging from 6 to 10 feet and some reaching up to 13 feet. There will also be a high risk of strong rip currents, making it dangerous for both surfers and swimmers. The surf could cause minor flooding in low-lying areas along the beach, boardwalks and like parking lots.
Temperatures will rise slightly on Monday, but a cold front sweeping across Southern California on Christmas Eve will drop temperatures to near or below average on Tuesday. Besides the cool down, the cold front may bring a chance for light rain showers and gusty winds.
