The National Weather Service is warning beach-goers this weekend to expect strong rip currents along Southern California’s south-facing shores through Sunday morning.

The strong currents are expected to create dangerous swimming conditions at beaches including Cabrillo, Venice Beach North and Zuma, according to the weather service.

The high tide this weekend may range from six to seven feet, said meteorologist Curt Kaplan.
