HERMOSA BEACH (CBSLA.com) A high surf advisory was in effect Tuesday for many Southland beaches, the National Weather Service said. <\/p>\n
The advisory, which was issued through Wednesday morning, affects west and northwest facing beaches with surf ranging from 4 to 9 feet. <\/p>\n
The surf will likely produce strong rip currents and sneaker waves which are capable of washing people into the sea from rocks, jetties and beaches, the NWS said. <\/p>\n
The highest surf is expected at shores from Manhattan Beach to Cabrillo Beach. <\/p>\n
The conditions are constantly changing and we want people to be aware, Cpt. Chris Linkletter said. <\/p>\n
Another westerly swell is expected later this week, likely resulting in high surf Friday into Saturday at beaches from San Luis Obispo County to Los Angeles County. <\/p>\n
More than 20 people were rescued by LA County lifeguards Monday due to the high surf at Hermosa, Santa Monica and Zuma beaches. <\/p>\n
The county has staffed extra lifeguards and is patrolling beaches around the clock through the advisory. <\/p>\n
