High Surf in San Diego County Coastal Areas, California

High Surf December 28, 2023 – December 30, 2023 · San Diego County Coastal Areas, California

What the National Weather Service wrote

Surfline reported 10 to 15 foot surf at Imperial Beach Pier. Surf continued to increase through December 30th, when 15-18 foot surf was reported at Imperial Beach Pier.

The wider storm

A strong, long-period swell from the west-northwest arrived in Southern California on December 27-28th, and persisted through the 30th. This led to the development of very large breaking wave heights, especially at the beaches of Southern California. High tides each morning also led to instances of coastal flooding, mainly on lower-lying beach boardwalks and parking lots.
