* WHAT...South swell from 190 degrees with a period of 18 to 20 seconds will generate surf of 4 to 7 feet with sets up to 9 feet along south-facing beaches. High rip current risk. * WHERE...San Diego County Coastal Areas and Orange County Coastal Areas. * WHEN...Through Thursday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Hazardous swimming conditions and a high rip current risk. If you become caught in a rip current, yell for help. Remain calm and do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current, SWIM PARALLEL TO SHORE and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Highest surf will be at south-facing beaches and peak through today. Swell and surf will slowly subside beginning Thursday with a shorter period, but will remain elevated into Friday.

Animal field note

California Sea Lion keeps its own schedule.

Mammals tend to shift around heat, rain, and human noise, turning dawn, dusk, shade, and cover into the real local calendar.
