Hurricane Rachel swell brings hazardous conditions to SoCal beaches

Another hurricane swell is expected to bring elevated surf and strong rip currents to Southern California beaches through the end of the week, forecasters say. As Hurricane Rachel churns off the coast of Mexico , the National Weather Service has issued beach hazard warnings and coastal flood advisories for Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange and San Diego counties, with forecasters warning of life-threatening rip currents and surf reaching 5 feet to 6 feet in some areas. Rose Schoenfeld, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said in a Wednesday, Oct. 7, phone interview, that southerly swells generated by tropical systems coming from the south, such as Hurricane Rachel, “can be more impactful" than the Southern California coast typically sees. “Because it's not typically a direction that our swell generally comes from,” Schoenfeld explained. “A more predominant direction for SoCal is more out of the west or northwesterly direction, so that southerly direction hits beaches that don't always get as much high surf.” Additionally, she said, southerly swells can increase the risk of rip currents, which "can be very hazardous, especially for inexperienced swimmers." Here's what kinds of conditions beachgoers can expect Southern California beaches through the week. What beachgoers can expect

Hurricane Rachel Tropical Moisture Could Bring Rain to Ventura, San Luis Obispo, and Riverside With Sierra Nevada Snow Across California Late Next Weekend

CALIFORNIA — A growing signal points to a potentially interesting pattern change across California late next weekend and into the week of October 12. A trough developing near the West Coast could help pull a plume of Eastern Pacific tropical moisture northward, possibly including moisture tied to Hurricane Rachel. If the pattern lines up, rain showers could reach parts of the state, with snow possible across the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada. No landfall is expected from Rachel, so any impacts would be indirect.
