Storm Surge/Tide in Orange County Coastal, California

Lifeguard reported 8 foot surf. Three people were swept out to sea. Two were rescued. One child (5 years old) was swept out with the body found 2 days later. Time is approximated. Body was recovered approximately 250-300 yards offshore from Christmas Cove, on Thursday morning, 11th of June.

Strong southerly swells generated from south of the equator migrated up into the southern California coastal waters to produce large surf at the beaches, resulting in some minor coastal flooding for low-lying areas.
