The National Weather Service issued a beach hazards statement for Northern Monterey Bay, warning of dangerous conditions expected until Monday evening. The advisory highlights a westerly swell of 7 feet with significant breakers, potentially reaching heights of 14 feet by Friday night. These conditions create a risk for swimmers and surfers due to powerful currents and unexpected 'sneaker waves', which can carry debris and knock individuals off balance, pulling them into the ocean. Beachgoers are advised to stay out of the water for safety during this warning period.
