Los Angeles Sizzles as Waves Pound the Coast

The Southland once again will sizzle in unusually high temperatures Wednesday — about 20 degrees above average in some communities — as high surf batters the coast.

High surf and strong rip currents are in the forecast in both Los Angeles and Orange counties. Surf is expected to build to between 8 and 10 feet in L.A. County Wednesday, then subside to 5-8 feet Thursday. In Orange County, surf of 5 to 9 feet is in Wednesday’s forecast. A high surf advisory will be in force in L.A. County until 9 p.m. Thursday but expire four hours earlier in Orange county.

Surfers and swimmers should heed lifeguards warnings, according to the National Weather Service. People are also advised to stay away from rocks and jetties along the coast to avoid being swept by sneaker waves.   Some heat records for a November 8 were set or tied Tuesday. The 93 degree high at Long Beach Airport broke the previous record of 91 set in 1996. The high of 94 in Woodland Hills tied the record set in 2014.

More records are possible. Downtown L.A., where the average temperature at this time of the year is 75, according to the NWS, is forecast Wednesday to reach 95 degrees, which would beat the record for a November 9 by 1 degree. Burbank, where the average is 75 and the record for a November 9 is 93, is also forecast to reach 95.

LAX, at an expected 91 degrees, will also be 20 degrees above the average, according to the NWS.

The NWS forecast sunny skies in Los Angeles County Wednesday and highs of 76 on Mount Wilson; 81 in Palmdale; 82 in Lancaster; 83 in Avalon; 91 at LAX; 92 in Saugus; 95 in downtown L.A., San Gabriel, Burbank and Long Beach; 96 in Pasadena; and 97 in Long Beach.

Sunny skies were also forecast in Orange County, along with highs of 86 in Newport Beach; 89 in Laguna Beach and San Clemente; 94 in Anaheim, Fullerton and Yorba Linda; 96 in Mission Viejo; and 97 in Irvine.

A cooling trend will begin Thursday, when temperatures are forecast to be up to 8 degrees lower.
