High Surf December 28, 2023 · Orange County Coastal, California
What the National Weather Service wrote
Huntington Beach Lifeguards reported 10 to 12 foot surf with occasional very high sets of 15 to 18 feet.
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.
