UPDATED:

Waves in the 7-to-10-foot range will begin pounding San Diego County beaches early Sunday, likely adding to the widespread coastal erosion the region experienced in recent weeks from a series of powerful winter storms, the National Weather Service said.

Fortunately, the swell won’t coincide with unusually high tides.

The swell is tied to a North Pacific storm that might bring modest rain to the county starting late Sunday or early Monday.

Until then, the region will be mostly dry and a bit on the cool side. San Diego’s average monthly temperature currently stands at 55.8 degrees, which is 3 degrees below average.

Sea surface temperatures are in the 58-to-60-degree range, which is common this time of year.
