California High Surf

A body boarder rides the waves at the Wedge in Newport Beach, Calif., Friday, Sept. 2, 2011, as a large swell hits the Orange County beaches.. Beachgoers this Labor Day weekend will be privy to big waves caused by a southwest swell that originated from a powerful storm near New Zealand. According to the National Weather Service, waves will be in the 5- to 8-foot range through Sunday. A high surf advisory issued earlier in the week was extended for the county through 9 p.m. Sunday.
