High surf warnings for San Francisco, San Diego
High Surf Advisory issued by NWS San Francisco 534 am Thurs Dec 26
HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 4 PM PST SUNDAY
Large breaking waves of 20 to 30 feet on the Pacific Coast, from 10 AM Thursday to 4 PM PST Sunday. Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion can be expected. Large 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.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.
