The National Weather Service has issued an updated beach hazards statement for the Coastal North Bay, San Francisco Peninsula, and Big Sur areas due to dangerous surf conditions. The statement warns of rising westerly swell resulting in waves up to 20 feet, posing risks including sneaker waves and rip currents. Surprisingly strong waves can reach further up the beach, endangering individuals and leading to potential injuries. Swimmers are highly discouraged from entering the water due to these hazards, and beach erosion is also a concern during this time.
