The National Weather Service said some Southern California beaches will be pounded by another day of high surf on Friday, bringing with it the possibility of more coastal flooding.
Conditions are expected to be slightly less severe than Thursday, but officials said they will still pose a serious danger. The surf is expected to generate strong and hazardous rip currents.
The weather service issued a high-surf advisory through 5 p.m. Friday, warning of up to 11-foot waves on south- and southwest-facing beaches.
On Thursday, Newport Beach officials said waves there reached 10 feet to 13 feet at the beaches and 20 feet at the Wedge. Flooding had subsided from the streets, they said, but water breached at least one parking lot along the Balboa Peninsula.
In Laguna Beach, lifeguards closed the parking lot at Aliso Beach on Wednesday afternoon after a high tide brought heavy deposits of sand and debris ashore, an Orange County parks spokeswoman said.
Capistrano Beach's parking lot was closed Thursday after waves washed up sand and debris and damaged a wooden boardwalk.
