* WHAT…A long period NW swell will result in an increased risk
of sneaker waves and rip currents. Breaking waves will be up
to 20 feet in favored locations.
* WHERE…Pacific Ocean coastlines of the San Francisco Bay
Area, Monterey Bay, and Big Sur.
* WHEN…From 4 AM Monday through 4 PM Tuesday.
* IMPACTS…Sneaker waves can unexpectedly run significantly
farther up the beach than normal, including over rocks and
jetties. These waves can suddenly knock people off their feet
and quickly pull them into the cold ocean waters, where
currents will be stronger than normal. These waves can also
carry driftwood logs and other debris.
