| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A large west to northwest swell generated high surf on the 1st and 2nd, mainly along west-facing beaches of Orange and San Diego County. Surf heights peaked on the 1st and gradually decreased into the 3rd. Tidal swings of over 6 feet occurred between the highest morning high tides and lowest afternoon low tides. The highest surf occurred in San Diego County with heights averaging 5-8 feet and sets to 13 feet at times. No damage was observed, though the Ocean Beach Pier was closed for a time due to the high surf. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | San Diego City lifeguards reported the Ocean Beach Pier was closed at 0830 PST on the 1st due to high surf. The Surfline web site reported 6 to 8 foot surf with occasional sets to 10 feet at Ocean Beach. Surfline also reported 5 to 8 foot surf with sets to 9 feet at Cardiff, Del Mar, Imperial Beach and Pacific Beach during this time. Surfline reported 8 foot surf with occasional sets to 13 feet at Sunset Cliffs. Some minor beach erosion occurred at Imperial Beach as well. Beach erosion was significant according to lifeguards after the recent sand replacement project completed in October. This type of project only occurs every 5 to 10 years and is important for beaches. |
