* WHAT...Surf of 3 to 5 feet with local sets to 7 feet, highest
at south-facing beaches in Orange County. High rip current risk
and strong longshore currents.

* WHERE...San Diego County Coastal Areas and Orange County
Coastal Areas.

* WHEN...Through Friday evening.

* IMPACTS...Hazardous swimming conditions generated by high rip
current risk and strong longshore currents.

A beach hazards statement for elevated surf means that waves will
be high enough to cause danger to inexperienced swimmers in the
water.  Elevated surf also frequently results in strong rip
currents which can drag people away from the shore and possibly
result in drowning. Always swim near a lifeguard.

* WHAT...The South Coast AQMD has issued an air quality alert due to
increased fine particle pollution from wildfire smoke.
Visit https://www.aqmd.gov/alertinfo to check current and forecasted
air quality levels.

* WHERE...in the San Gorgonio Pass, the Coachella Valley, Lake
Elsinore and Hemet-San Jacinto Valley. Levels of particle pollution
can vary by time and location depending on fire activity and local
weather conditions.

* WHEN...Until 5 PM Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Particles in wildfire smoke can get deep into the lungs
and cause serious health problems such as heart attacks, strokes,
asthma attacks, and difficulty breathing. Everyone can be affected,
but people with lung or heart disease, older adults, people who are
pregnant, children, and those who spend a lot of time outdoors are
at greater risk.

To protect your health, if you smell or see smoke:

* Remain indoors with windows and doors closed
* Avoid intense outdoor physical activity
* Run your air conditioner and/or an air purifier
* If you must be outdoors, keep the time brief and wear a well-
fitting N-95 mask
* Do not use whole house fans or swamp coolers that bring in
outside air if you have other methods to stay cool
* Avoid other sources of pollution such as fireplaces, candles,
incense, grilling, and gasoline-powered lawn and garden
equipment
