Sneaker waves ten to thirteen feet, high rip current danger until 6 pm
Coastal Hazard issued by NWS San Francisco 1050 am PST Thurs Dec 19
BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING...
A moderate to long period west to northwest swell will result in an increasing risk of sneaker waves and rip currents. Sneaker waves are likely to break between 10 to 13 feet.
Impacting San Francisco, Coastal North Bay Including Point Reyes National Seashore, San Francisco Peninsula Coast, Northern Monterey Bay and Southern Monterey Bay and Big Sur Coast Counties.
Sneaker waves can sweep across the beach without warning, pulling people into the sea from rocks, jetties, and beaches. Sudden immersion in cold water can result in cold water shock even for the most experienced swimmers. Cold water shock can result in dramatic changes in breathing, heart rate and
blood pressure, greatly increasing the risk of drowning in rough open waters.
Remain away from the water to avoid being pulled in, avoid being in the water due to the hazardous swimming conditions.
