People who plan to seek relief at Torrey Pines State Beach should be aware that there’s been a cliff collapse in the Flat Rock Beach area, which is blocking the water’s edge path to the southern portion of Torrey Pines.
Tropical Storm Irwin, which recently swirled to life off the southwest coast of Mexico, is tracking to the west, where it is expected to fizzle by Tuesday. But forecasters said Irwin might send some wave energy to Southern California later this week.
Forecasters also said it appears that the county will experience much cooler weather during the Labor Day weekend.
