Hurricane Narda continues to churn in the Pacific Ocean, sending large swells towards Southern California shores.
The National Weather Service has issued a Beach Hazards Statement for beaches from Santa Barbara County to San Diego County in addition to Catalina Island.
“Dangerous rip currents and breaking waves of 3 to 5 feet are expected on south-facing beaches,” NWS said. “Sets of waves up to 6 feet possible for south and southwest-facing beaches.”
