Two hurricanes moving up from Mexico are forecasted to bring rough waves back to the Southern California coast.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), high waves and strong rip currents are expected to hit the Southern California coast on the 28th and 29th due to the influence of Hurricanes Polo and Odalys. In some areas, coastal flooding and beach erosion are also a concern.
NWS stated, “The most dangerous conditions are expected on Monday and Thursday, when high tides and southern swells combine.”
According to NWS forecasts, today (the 27th) they are expected to turn northeast and make landfall in Baja California, Mexico. Afterward, they are expected to affect parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
Polo is not expected to pass directly through Southern California. However, maritime conditions can become dangerous unlike land weather, requiring caution.
As swells generated by the hurricane approach, the NWS has issued high surf advisories, coastal flood advisories, and beach hazard statements for the Southern California coast, urging beachgoers and coastal residents to exercise special caution.
