Coastal communities brace for high surf as cold storm system hits Southern California 

A cold storm system is set to bring rain and gusty winds to Southern California this weekend, causing the National Weather Service to issue a High Surf Advisory for communities along the coast. Large breaking waves of up to seven feet may be accompanied by dangerous rip currents, especially at westward facing beaches in Los Angeles County, NWS said. Further north, west facing beaches in Ventura County may see swells of up to ten feet. Residents are advised to watch for minor flooding of some beach areas, and inexperienced boaters are encouraged to remain in port.  KTLA 5's Carlos Herrera reports.
