SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A series of storms over the Northern Pacific will generate increasingly large west-northwest swells along San Diego beaches this week, prompting meteorologists to issue a beach warning starting late Monday night. <\/p>\n
The National Weather Service scheduled a beach hazards statement for local beaches from late Monday night to Saturday evening, saying 4- to 7-foot surf with sets to 9 feet is expected Tuesday afternoon, followed by 10-foot sets Wednesday through Thursday. <\/p>\n
The largest surf will likely occur on Friday and Saturday when sets of 12 to 14 feet are possible, according to the Weather Service. <\/p>\n
\"The swells (will) start to very slowly lower late Saturday into Sunday,\" the agency said. <\/p>\n
A beach hazards statement is issued whenever high surf capable of producing hazardous swimming and surf zone conditions is expected. <\/p>\n
\"The high surf and strong rip currents will result in dangerous swimming conditions,\" the NWS said. \"Waves may over-top jetties and sea walls at times.\" <\/p>\n
