The National Weather Service has issued an updated high surf warning for various coastal regions of Northern California, including Point Reyes and the San Francisco Peninsula. This warning indicates dangerously large breaking waves, with heights reaching up to 45 feet on some west-facing beaches. The NWS cautions that these conditions can create life-threatening scenarios, particularly for swimmers and those near jetties. Cold water shock poses a significant risk, urging the public to avoid water activities and stay clear of hazardous areas.
Dangerously large breaking waves of 20 to 30 feet and up to 45 feet can result in life-threatening surf conditions and significant beach erosion.
Cold water shock can lead to dramatic changes in breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure, increasing the risk of drowning in rough waters.
