Capistrano Beach Closed Due to High Surf
Aliso Beach is also shut down. The closures may last through Monday.
The high surf this week forced the closure of two Orange County beaches today.
Capistrano Beach's parking lot at 35005 Beach Road in Dana Point was closed because the high surf damaged a wooden boardwalk and some steps, Orange County Parks spokeswoman Marisa O'Neil said.
"Today the surges are coming up higher again so the staff decided to close the beach completely,'' O'Neil said. "There's a fair amount of debris being washed up.''
