On Thursday at 8:58 a.m. an updated beach hazards statement was released by the National Weather Service in effect until Friday, Mar. 28 at 11 a.m. for Northern Monterey Bay.
The NWS San Francisco CA says to expect, “Long period high northwesterly swell will result in breaking waves between 15 to 20 feet along favored break points.”
“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,” according to the NWS. “Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.”
