A high surf advisory is in effect for much of the Southland today and swimmers, surfers and people walking along the shoreline should be extra vigilant.
A combination of a northwest swell from a Pacific storm and strong winds will produce surf in the 5 to 8-foot range. A dangerous rip current is expected, and conditions are hazardous for anyone entering the water.
The high surf advisory is in effect until 10 p.m. Wednesday.
