While the storm expected to bring rain to Orange County won’t be a huge or powerful storm, Surfline chief forecaster Sean Collins says the coast will see waves and low-lying homes in the Sunset/Seal Beach area might even get a bit of flooding.
The solid west swell will bring waves in Seal Beach and Sunset in the 4-6-foot range on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday, with Huntington a couple of feet larger, he wrote in an e-mail.
The swell period will be short – between 10 and 15 seconds between sets — meaning some may end up doubling up in size or overlapping.
He notes that although it’s not a major flooding situation, homeowners might want to take important items off their garage floors and pick up a few sand bags for protection.
