These low clouds will increase in coverage after 07-08Z to become BKN and move up to 10 miles inland but will be intermittent and extremely patchy through 15-17Z. Clouds clear after 16Z with VFR conditions through 05Z Saturday. Mountains/Deserts...VFR conditions expected with high clouds increasing towards the end of the period. Breezy westerly winds mainly through mountain passes and along desert slopes. Gusts 25-35 kts with pockets of moderate up/downdrafts over and in lee of ridges. Winds taper off slightly after 12Z but will pick up again after 20Z. && .MARINE... No hazardous marine conditions are expected through Tuesday. && .BEACHES... A large south swell from Hurricane Marie will move into the region Friday night and Saturday, peaking Sunday into Monday, before gradually diminishing Tuesday. This will result in elevated to high surf and strong rip and longshore currents at majority of beaches. Additionally, waves will occasionally run much farther up the beach than expected, especially during increasing and evening high tides. For south and southwest-facing beaches, expecting high surf 6-10 feet. This includes Orange County and north San Diego County beaches. For west-facing beaches, expecting elevated surf 4-7 feet. This includes most of southern San Diego County beaches. High surf combined with high astronomical tides 6 to about 6.5 feet will lead to tidal overflow and coastal flooding Saturday through Tuesday during evening high tides, especially for those south and southwest-facing beaches as well as low-lying, typically impacted areas. && .SKYWARN... Skywarn activation is not requested. However weather spotters are encouraged to report significant weather conditions. && .SGX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
