LOS ANGELES—Large waves will continue to pound the Southern California coast Dec. 29 and into the weekend, raising the risk of flooding while creating dangerous conditions for anyone entering the ocean water.

National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters said there were reports of waves reaching 16 feet in Los Angeles County Thursday. As a result, a high surf advisory that had been issued for L.A. County beaches until 10 p.m. Saturday was upgraded to a high surf warning, with waves of 8 to 13 feet anticipated, and some isolated sets possibly reaching 20 feet.
