The National Weather Service has issued an updated beach hazards statement for the Coastal North Bay region, including Point Reyes and the San Francisco Peninsula. This warning remains in effect from early Tuesday until early Wednesday. The forecast predicts long-period westerly swells that will create dangerous sneaker waves and rip currents, with breaking waves expected to reach 15 to 18 feet. Beachgoers are cautioned to stay out of the water due to stronger currents and the potential for hazards like driftwood and debris being swept ashore.
The National Weather Service has advised about an increased risk of sneaker waves and rip currents along the California coast due to a long period westerly swell.
Breaking waves of 15 to 18 feet are expected along west and northwest facing beaches, leading to potentially hazardous conditions for beachgoers.
Sneaker waves can unexpectedly surge farther up the beach and can sweep people off their feet, posing a serious threat to safety.
