OUR FORECAST... :) ... Breezy winds and building seas this weekend... A cold front will move across the region on Saturday. Gusty south winds of 25 to 40 mph with gusts 50 to 55 mph are likely late Friday night and Saturday morning... then become westerly by Saturday afternoon. Winds will gradually ease Saturday evening. With all of the wind... waves on the Pacific will be building. Seas may reach 15 to 20 ft on Saturday. Later Saturday afternoon and Saturday night... west swell of 18 to 22 feet will arrive. In addition... this larger swell will coincide with the time of rather high astronomical tides. This may result in minor coastal flooding on the Long Beach peninsula and other local low lying areas near the beaches. This would not be a time to be in or near the surf zone... or exploring the rocks and jetties. Sudden waves could knock a person off balance... and into the cold waters of the Pacific.
