VENTURA, Calif. (KABC) -- Coastal communities are being asked to plan ahead as a high surf advisory is in effect for Southern California beaches as a swell brings potentially dangerous surf to the coast. The advisory is in effect from 6 a.m. Thursday until 10 a.m. Friday. As of Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service reported surf will be dangerously high for the Central and Ventura County coasts on Thursday where heights range from 12 to 22 feet. Breaking waves in excess of 15 to 20 feet could cause pier damage and may lead to coastal flooding, the NWS said.
