High Temps, High Surf Forecast Thursday

Big waves will hit the Los Angeles County coast again Thursday amid unseasonably warm temperatures.

A high pressure system brought record-breaking temperatures to four L.A. spots on Wednesday, including at the University of California, Los Angeles and the Los Angeles International Airport. The high at the university was 89 degrees, breaking the previous record of 83 set in 2001, City News Service Reported. 

It was slightly cooler at the Santa Monica Airport: 85 degrees.

Another large swell, following Tuesday's, will move into coastal waters, bringing high surf Thursday afternoon. Waves up to 14 feet are expected along the Ventura and Los Angeles County coasts.

A high surf advisory is in effect between 4 p.m. Thursday and 9 a.m. Saturday.

"Large breakers impacting the coast will cause a high risk of rip currents and the possibility of minor tidal overflow at times of high tide," the National Weather Service warned.

A 26-year-old man died Monday night off the coast of Huntington Beach after he and his friend were caught in a riptide during high-surf in deadly cold waters.

Meanwhile, temperatures will remain well above normal, although slightly cooler than Wednesday's. A daytime high of 76 degrees is forecast Thursday, followed by a major cool down Friday when highs will return to the low 60s.

A warming trend is forecast for the early part of next week.
