The National Weather Service (NWS) released a beach hazards statement early Saturday morning, warning of large waves and strong rip currents for parts of Southern California over the holiday weekend.
The NWS predicted waves of 4 to 6 feet with sets up to 7 feet along south-facing beaches in San Diego and Orange County areas.
Thousands were expected to flock to popular beaches in the area during the Fourth of July weekend, though the swell predictions could spell danger for even experienced swimmers.
